ms64. a small cluster of parallel scratches at 8 o'clock on obverse. Couple of fingerprints on both sides. a hit on the eagle's feathers. attractive toning, good luster and look.  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."

My first thought was also 64, although the obv scratch is bothersome. Still, the good looking toning obscures the scratch to some point.. Nice coin!

I am thinking the "scratch" is a die crack. Does anyone else agree with that? I think there is no way it would grade problem free if that was a true scratch.

 with 64. This toning is about as good as it gets for Peace. Since so few have decent toning it is unusual. |

Undoubtedly a die crack; that's a very common location and shape for Peace dollars. Given the ugly fashion in which Peace dollars tone, the color here is no worse than "neutral" and probably counts as a plus for some collectors. |
