Latest acquisition for my date series of MS Peace dollars. PCGS holder. Luster is good but not blazing on this one.   |

Not a whole lot of light on the coin, but I can see some chatter. MS-62, possibly a 61.

Obv 63, Rev 62 so PCGS said 63, I'd go 62.

I am at 62, but a little of rub on wing could get it graded at AU58.

Hard to tell from these photos but I'm guessing this was graded MS63.

Pics are too dark to see surface details clearly. With respect, grading from thee pics is a shot in the dark.

MS62 for me, though tough to judge that obverse

On the obverse I see weakness in the hair above the forehead, around the ear area and on the bun. This may be strike weakness as opposed to actual wear. The cheek is hard to determine if there is a break in luster over the cheek. Can you see if it carwheels without a break under the light when you rock it? On the reverse I see flatness to the wing detail near the center of the coin. This does appear to be wear rather than strike weakness. Please see my post regarding "Grading Peace dollars". Based upon these pics and my observations, I would have to call this a slider. Again, is there any break in cartwheel luster over that area of the wing? |

If I remember correctly...you showed us a start of you collection and all were 64 or 65.
I don't think you would break that cycle just because you found a 26-S...
So I'll say MS-65 with not the best pics.

P.S. I sent you a PM a while back letting you know I got some 1926 PCGS MS-65 back if you're interested.

Here is another obverse photo with more light. It's got fairly nice cartwheel.  |

I still have no defensible grade to offer.  |

tough coin to grade. obviously there is strike issues especially reverse but is any from circulation? as MisterT stated we cant tell if the luster is broke across the cheek and the center of the wing is iffy. so AU58 or MS62. i'll go with MS62 |
