Remind me, whenever I get too enamored of a coin, to run it by you guys - you'll bring me back to earth! ;-)

Almost everyone agreed on a MS grade, with most people choosing 62-63-64.

However, westcoin got it spot-on (and for the right reasons), as did fenton and BH1964. Both PCGS and NGC gave it...

You-Vs.-PCGS-And-NGC---1924-Peace-Dollar

And I still love it immensely for its glowing, satin luster that I can see from across the room! Almost makes me want to collect the series.

Super Liz! If this coin didn't have the big line, and it would get that grade you really want, but.... not gonna happen, I haven't seen a lot of 66+ Peace dollars but I've seen enough of them, to say when you see one "you will know it" Luster drips like diamond glitter. This one is so close to it the luster breaks have to be almost non-existant to qualify for the 66+ or better a 66 can have a few of them, but makrs or ticks? NO WAY, the TPG's are hard on these beauties. You will pay for a CAC 66 or better, probably more than ask at a coinshow or auction today.

Thanks, westcoin. Although I collect primarily circulated coins, I have to admit I just love the look of this coin - dripping luster is a great way to describe it. I'll definitely keep my eye out for 66's to compare with it - and perhaps someday I'll invest in an upgrade.

In the meantime, I really appreciate the education on grading Peace dollars.
