I have no idea how to grade Peace dollars, to me this coin looks to be in the 45/55 range. |

I'm tossing an AU55 into the ring based on remaining details.

Flat wear on tips of eagle's wing feathers and similar wear on Liberty's flowing hair, but with the presence of mint luster, lead me to grade this one an EF-40-45 with good eye appeal.

I'd call it AU-50. The scratch across the eagle reduces eye appeal.

34's were well struck when they resumed...
Yours has nice devices...typical little nicks on cheek/chin/jaw...not sure about what's on her nose?
The 3 larger marks on the reverse knocks her down a grade.
AU-53...AU-55 would not surprise me.
Keep plugging those holes...nice pick up!

Is that a carbon spot on the nose?

It looks like a VAM-1B, struck from rusted dies. Note the pitting on TRUST and the NW quadrant of the reverse. I could see the technical grade here at AU-55, with a possible eye appeal knock to AU-53.
