Solid MS64, good shot at 65, and absolutely gorgeous for the date. Fields and cheek are remarkably clean.
This coin would be worth resubmitting a few times, especially in the old NGC holder, to get a 65. HUGE jump in value. My offer would be $850-$900 with a caveat of better pictures being sent, but it's PQ enough that it might command a further premium, and if you get it back in a 65 holder on a resubmit, you made an easy $1k profit if you resell it.

A very nice 64. I think the very central section of the hair would need a bit more detail to move up to 65.

Although 4 of the 8 up for sale now in NGC holders graded at 65 look alot like your 64. But all we have are photo's to go by.

Just a guess from these photos, MS-64

If it's a 64, it would CAC, would probably make a low 65.

Really debating picking this up, particularly because of a 30-day return policy. Also, I would consider sending it in for regrading. Thoughts?

NGC guide for this is $925. You said it was offered for $100 less than that at $825. Greysheet is $725. Why not offer $750 and see what they say?
Btw, I see 100 listings for this coin in slabbed MS64 right now online starting at $600. I see some nice ones. You have a wide array of choices my friend.

With the light coming off the slab as well(*), it is a bit difficult to grade this one accurately. Would have been better to photograph it raw, so we could grade it more accurately, THEN send it off to be slabbed. Because the TPG'er has the advantage to examine it in hand(*) with a 10x loupe(*), and we don't, now better to just accept the TPGrader's opinion. (*) = three reasons why the TPGrader has the advantage over us. Almost impossible to find any tiny nicks or hairlines in this circumstance. For me, any grade between 62 and 66 would be a guess.

@sel
Agreed. Very hard to examine the coin without seeing better pics or to see it in person. The store claims that they are unable to take better photos due to the coin being "packaged."
I think they meant "slabbed." :-/
Regardless, I'm still considering sending them an offer. I don't think I'm interested at the price they are asking, especially due to the poor photos...

I'm think MS65 and possibly as high as MS66.

If they accept an offer that is to your liking and have a lenient return policy (14-30 days) I think it might be worth a shot; if, once you have it in hand, you find it disagreeable, you can simply send it back.

Looks like the best they are going to do is $810 plus tax. Not too excited about that number. I guess I'll sleep on it.

Did you try putting $750 in cash on the counter, and saying: "I'd like to to do a deal right now for $750. If you say no, I am have the coin I am going to buy picked out already. Would you reconsider?" Just sayin. If they say no, then move on. This is not the only 1921 Peace dollar out there. Things change a little when the money is on the counter. Don't ever raise your offer if they say no. It will ruin your credibility.
