Do these appear to be proofs? They have the extra point between the first and second long spikes on crown. They look like satin proofs. Thanks.   |

Front and back of both. I read if have extra point between 1st and 2nd long points and the points by the E. But so much information out there. But these do look satin as well. Weigh correctly. Thanks.     |

Not proofs. Just nice BU dollars.

With PCGS only having nine combined, one being an SP, the odds are against you. That's not saying it isn't, only a professional grader could say with certainty when considering all the VAMs this series has. Either way, a beautiful piece.

Appreciate the feedback. I seen online where said if have line by N on reverse and the extra spikes they would be. But I highly doubt as you have stated I'd have one, let alone two. Why I like to come here for second opinions. I'll probably still send them in for grading anyways. The one looks like it has crack by eye but I cant get good enough pics.
Thanks again!

Compare them to a 1921. The high relief fields should look dished, and from the photos these look too flat. But these coins have very well struck detail for a Peace dollar. In this photo the dishing can be seen near the rim at the letters LIBE. That's the extra depth which made the high reliefs so hard to strike, and caused weakness in the center details of almost all 1921's.  "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Definitely not proofs, but a couple of nice looking MS coins, especially the second one.

I personally wouldn't incur the cost of grading for two common date coins with average surface preservation. They are ok but nothing special and there is the possibility that at least one may come back as AU58 from my observations.

If they had rotated one of the dies 90 degrees the coin would have been much easier to strike.

Thanks for replies everyone. So much misinformation out there it can be difficult. And wow thq, I can definitely see the difference now. That thing looks like it should be a medal!

One of the easiest pick ups for a high relief is the number of rays below ONE on the reverse. There are 3 plus the longer ray through and above the N. Normal business strikes have 2 plus the ray through the N that does not extend above.
