trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 02/26/2007 8:36 pm This is my first try at posting a coin to be graded. The pictures make the coin seem brownish, it's more of a grey color. That funny looking spot on the rim below the IN on the obverse is a ding that doesn't go through the reeding. I'm not experienced enough to tell if the coin has been cleaned or dipped in the past, it was in my Dad's collection for at least 25 years. I'm grading it around VG-F, what do ya'll think.

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 05:05 am Peace dollars are also a weak area for me, and in circulated grades I am clueless. So, time to do some learning. Why only vg-f? I would have said higher, perhaps vf-25.....PCGS gives the vf-30 grade to coins with almost complete detail with flat areas.....that's close to what I see in the pictures. Are there details missing on this piece? Are high reliefs graded differently than later date Peace dollars? Although not big on Peace dollars (the spikes sticken' out of the head and all....) I kinda' like this one, trdhrdr007. It has lots of character, and I like that in a coin. Edited by hadleydog 02/27/2007 05:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 08:50 am I'm just now easing into trying to get accurate grades for my raw coins. Up to now I have collected coins that were either in mint packaging, slabbed & graded by one of the reputable TPG's, or that looked AU or better. In the past I have collected raw coins that looked good to me, trying to buy at enough under "market value" to make up for my grading inexperience. I just don't know enough about coins to be confident in my grading. From my book I gave this coin a VF-20, but thought the rim ding would knock it down some. On a side note I see you like toned coins, when you tilt this one just right there are light rainbows that show up on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
