I like a coin with nice toning , and finding Peace dollars with nice natural toning can be a challenge. Most of them I have seen are just turning a dull yellow/brown , or they remain nice and white. When I saw these coins today at a small local monthly show, I knew they would be mine if they were not AT Pretty much impossible to grade from these photos, but feel free to offer grade opinions and AT vs. NT opinions. I believe these to be Naturally toned coins...but I have been wrong before

Both common date and condition coins, but IMHO super looking coins in hand. The 1924 was marked CH AU, and I agree. The pictures of the 1924 just would not show the colors accurately, but the darker areas are dark blue to dark purple.

The 1925 is a different story. Graded MS-63 by seller, I also agree with the grade, but the colors are just s bit more reflective on this one and the pictures show them pretty accurately after a little enhancement. The close ups should give an even better idea of the color on this coin.

Nice!

They look NT to me.

Looks like the toning brings out some of the detail.

Great find!

I would say NT and the eye appeal is nice for Peace $s, especially the 1925- I love blue toning

You have to love that contrast. The recessed areas are darker making the devices appear to jump out. If it is AT, I would love to know how they did that.

Nice toning !
Reminds me of a 1926 Peace I had when I was about 10. I cleaned and polished it with metal/brass cleaner back then. 20 years later, I found it with that same bluish tone as your picture. Unfortunately, I considered it damaged goods as traded it in.

These are nice. I never have sought out the toned coins, but I found a 1923 Peace dollar in an estate I bought last month with a beautiful rainbow on the obverse and reverse. I have no idea what to do with it, but for now it is great to show to kids.
