Please give me your feedback on the pics please.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 1:04 pm Peace dollars are tough to grade in my opinion. Sometimes I think weak strikes get confused as worn detail. This 1922 low relief date is particularly common to find lacking strong detail. I think it has plenty of mint luster and a little wear on the base of neck, cheek and high points of hair detail. On the reverse just a light even bit of wear on the wing feathers and some other high points. I think your XF-40 is conservative and I would go at least AU-50. My reasoning is the amount of mint luster, the rest could be slight circulation and bag wear. I would be interested to hear the other opinions as I am not so good at Peace dollars but thought I would try a guess. Edited by TNG 02/21/2009 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cragdire New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 8:07 pm Hey thanks! Again, I am just starting and I have been cking a reference book that I have "Collecting US coins on a Budget". Any other good ref books out there to show the coins and grading? I have been taking lots of pics from ebay from those coins and their grading. It helps when your trying to place the coin into its lot. The 10X mag helps too. Thanks for the good looking pics. It took me awhile, but I have a good Canon camera that has a super macro. I will have to remember the low relief date :) Thx Mike D Report this Post to the Staff
