This one is presently for sale on ebay. Not sure I agree with the handsome remark. Any guesses on how ICQ graded this one? Yes there is a Peace dollar under there!   |

I'm not for dipping coins, but this one definitely needs one.

Wow! I'll guess MP-22 as in Monkey Pox '22. I would have gone for the + grade if I could see ANY of her face! The eagle, on the other hand, is just suffering from a mild case of Bird Flu. He'll be fine.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess handsome is as well. No guess as to the grade for me....

No way to grade from those pics.
It looks horrible.

This is why Peace dollars get a bad rap! But yes, grading for this one is best left in had, and it is only technical grading as this toning will kill any value. |

Yikes, that is one ugly dollar. I like attractive toning, but (as NumismaticsFTW mentioned) this one would be a candidate for dipping. I've never done that for a collectible coin, but would probably make an exception on this one...  And, as others mentioned, I don't think there is any way to grade this coin, especially the obverse, from a picture. The obverse sort of looks like a Jackson Pollock painting... Edited by hokiefan_82

The problem with dipping this, is I'm not sure there is actually a Liberty beneath the toning...  |

I did cheat in hopes that it was graded AU and cheap (as I do believe it is MS) and I will actually agree with the technical grade but not the plus!

I've stared at this for well over a minute and cannot for the life of me make out Liberty's nose from her lips and lips from her chin!  . As far as grade goes.. |

Very hard to grade a dark toned coin from photos.

Just looks like a pile of sand. Trying to make out the obverse is like cloud watching. You are just guessing and seeing things. Suffering from bust half fever.
