Aside from some obverse "glitches," this 1924 Peace dollar doesn't look bad . any thoughts on grade would be appreciated.   |

This was a nice high grade coin that was unfortunately harshly cleaned and scratched. It is a common date issue that has little remaining numismatic value. It still has intrinsic value due to silver content.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Many collectors would not agree with the assessment, "doesn't look bad". Both surfaces are covered with hairlines making this a melt value piece of bullion to most ~$15.
