I am also wondering as to why there is a difference in their colour... different mint dye or is one just retaining its mint lustre better? Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 01:53 am Mint dye made me smile. It's all how they spent the last almost 100 years. Neither of them have any of their orginal mint luster and are decently toned and circulated. Keep them I their current condition do not clean the coins under any circumstances. Once you lose the mint luster it's gone, cleaning or polishing will just remove the rest of it's original surface and leave you With a piece of silver only. I don't know how to grade Peace dollars someone will be along shortly to do that. Edited by Bertensgrad 04/13/2015 01:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 08:41 am Thw 1923 might go down as far as EF, but the 1922 is likely AU. The very first place one looks for wear on the reverse of a Peace dollar is the eagle's shoulder, which is washed out in the 1922 image so I'm basically going from the obverse alone.

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 4:14 pm It generally helps when you post coins for grading to just do one coin at a time. The closer you take it to the coin in focus the better. Then crop the pic close to the coin. This would allow us to see the coin and grade it the most accurately. Other wise we are largely guessing.

B-ri-Time New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 8:19 pm Thank you for all the replies! I sure have a lot to learn with my new hobby ha-ha. I will definitely post only one coin with better quality next time:) Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 8:50 pm If only because your lighting favored the 1922 - at least on the obverse - while the 1923 received too little. Another thing you could do is crop to just the coin, because all the rest is photographic information nobody needs while it adds to the filesize. As far as "semi-official policy" goes, I for one wouldn't mind if you post two coins of similar issue like this in the same thread. Two threads pushes somebody off the front page of the subforum, which is not critical but a common courtesy thing. So two Peace dollars? Cool. The same people will want to see both anyway. A Large Cent and a Seated Half in the same thread? Not so much - your audience might be different for each. Report this Post to the Staff
