SeatedSeeker New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 10:22 am I'm the only one that thinks Peace dollars are hard to grade? They are already weakly struck, and never had pretty fields to begin with. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 11:06 am Peace dollars are for me, and I've looked at a bazillion of them. The key to accurate Peace grading is to concentrate first on determining the original strike quality. This is a separate skill entirely from grading, but the grade flows easily from it once you've got it down pat. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 11:23 am I have trouble grading them too. The great thing about this community is there are people who are willing to help with grading, info and answering questions. One of my weaknesses with Peace dollars is how to tell strike weakness from wear. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 2:03 pm Peace dollars strain my already tenuous grading skills. This 1921 (a different animal all together in the world of Peace dollars) has been for me a great tool to use for grade vs. wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Duncan_Doenitz Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 3:23 pm I'm a bit of a novice (despite collecting for over 50 years) but I'd say the rim tells a lot about that one, even more than the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 6:28 pm Yep, Peace dollars are among the group that are tough to grade. Along with Buffalo nickels. And incised Indian Head gold. Even Washington quarters don't give you a lot of design to work with. Report this Post to the Staff
