I am a big fan of the Peace dollars. For this coin I am at XF45 to AU50 on this one. Nice Coin! |

Where are you guys seeing wear and/or rub that would make this coin AU?

It's a nice MS coin. I'm thinking MS-64 on this only because of the gash on the obverse rim by and through the B of Liberty.

Alot of the lettering is worn, don't think it's a mint state coin.

I think the lettering is indicative of a weak strike. What about the hair (kinda mooshed down) around the ear area ? Is that also the strike...anyone ?

It has an average strike for a Peace dollar. It is an uncirculated coin. |

Seems like I read or heard some where that Peace dollars are known for their weak strikes and give the appearance of wear.I'll go ahead and say MS 62/63 because of the rim dings.Still an outstanding Peace dollar with great eye appeal that any collector would love to own. |

Looks MS but some areas of the obverse details are poorly formed from strike weakness. I think the strike is below average even for this series. That and the minor rim issues would likely limit it to MS63 but MS64 is certainly possible too. I really like the color and light toning.

My guess would be ms 64 or 64+, if the luster is strong. Although the strike is weak, the cheek and fields are exceptionally clear from major contact marks, and the surfaces seem to be frosty.

I have a pcgs MS 65 1925 Peace dollar and it has a nice strike. The 2 rim dings, there appears to be some nicks in the lines and on the feathers. I guess my 65 is under graded. I will say that it probably is just a weak strike UNC coin. I would buy it just for the toning regardless. |

Sorry, but I see wear -- above the eagles eye and liberty's locks -- as well as a weak strike, though it is a lovely & desirable coin overall.
