Hello, Picked this up a while ago and wanted to get your opinion. It looked good in the PCGS true view so I went for it. Unfortunately the luster seems a bit "dull" to me compared to other Peace dollars I've seen. This straight graded though and I see no indication of light scratches (cleaned). Was this coin dipped too much (if so, why didn't it details)? Or maybe it came off the press with a muted luster? Also since this is the grading forum.. what do you think it got? Opinions on it? Thanks!     |

64. nice strike and hair detail. very mark-free.
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."

Agree at least MS-64. Perhaps lightly dipped in the past, but enough remaining luster to make it market acceptable.

  Based on the responses, I guess I did pretty good. I thought it should have been at least a 63. Again, all I can think of is the lack of luster. Here it is in comparison to a Peace dollar that I would consider to have "blinding luster." I'm still not sure how it only got a 62 though...  |
