1921 Peace dollar, NGC Slabbed. (Some minor scuffs on the holder). Care to guess the NGC grade? -Will post grade later. Thanks for looking. (Edited: Image was a little dark so posted a slightly better one)  The person I purchased this raw from years ago was adamant this could grade 65. I've always been in the 63 camp on her. Obviously a few of you have experience dealing with these from lousy pics. Thanks for the interesting comments.   Edited by Night-Hawk

There appears to be noticeable high point rubs so I'll guess AU55.

The 1921 is a high relief coin, completely full strikes are uncommon.
This one I would call an above average strike.

It looks like an AU-58 to me...

Knowing the way NGC works it could be anywhere from AU 55 to MS-62.

I agree that it's an above average strike. My gut says MS-64.

Hard to tell on the Peace dollars.... I feel like that hit on the obverse might make it AU.... I think there is luster throughout though so it doesn't seem to be circulated. I'm going to say either AU55 or MS62, with it leaning toward MS. Nice year to have either way! |

Your photos make this difficult .. and all 1921 Peace are difficult to grade in hand to begin with ... so I suppose double difficult.  I say a very nice coin and for sure MS ... NGC MS63. David |

I'll say 63. Above average strike for the year. Not sure how much they give credit for the strike given that I have seen 21s at MS65 with the worst strike you could imagine. Is the spotting carbon spots? Anyone know if the graders consider those?

Well, I think it's a solid MS64, possible 64+.
