pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 12:15 pm Believe it or not I'm actually pretty happy with the coin (although I knew the abrasions would elicit controversy, which is why I posted it). It's quite hard to find such a solid strike on post-1921 Peace dollars. This one is stamped out very nicely, I think. I usually find really mushy details, especially on the reverse. I also don't see any wear, though I do suspect it has spent time in a casino. It will sell easily using un-doctored photos. But it is indeed troubling that a respected auction house would use those clearly "enhanced" photos. Edited by pristine2 11/26/2021 12:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 1:20 pm When I look at the true view photos, the grade looks like a MS64/65. What got me down to a 58 are the marks on the neck and chin and no luster on the OP photos. The True View photos shows possible rub on the tip of the eagle's wing. I would not want to own the coin if it graded higher than 63. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 5:36 pm The True View photos are glamor shots and the photos most likely made the coin sell for strong MS62 money at auction. It is a nice coin for grade. The glamor photos maximize the revenue for the auction house. Report this Post to the Staff

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 8:18 pm $504 at auction. I can't really afford to hold on to it though, so it is already up for sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284543675624 Edited by pristine2 11/26/2021 8:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 11:06 pm I still think she's a MS61 in my eyes, but having it in a holder at a point higher helps when selling it, I didn't think they'd hold her back in AU territory. It's the key date and not an easy coin to find overall especially in MS condition, it shouldn't be too hard of a sell over the holidays. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
