Went to a local coin show and picked this up. Had been looking for a nice one. Ideas on a grade? Thanks.   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ****** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Very nice! As far the grade, maybe MS-64? I'm not a pro at grading.
Errers and Varietys.

Nice one year type pick up! I'd guess low Unc, maybe MS61 or 62. I think it's been dipped a few times too many.
Very hard series to grade.

I added the date to your title and moved your thread to the grading section. Kinda looks polished. Weight? tissue test?Price paid? John1  |

I'm wondering what's going on in the area around "UNITED" and "E PLU." Sort of looks like some sort of corrosion. Same thing above the midpoint of the eagle's back. I also think this may have been polished. I don't know grading on these, but there appears to be some wear on the high points of her hair.

avoid overhead lighting which is causing enough glare to obscure the surfaces. the photos are showing a possibly cleaned coin that may have been a little too much dipped and then lightly polished to counter it. the area I noted here has the look of what occurs when a coin is polished. the metal seems what I call melted. it occurs from the heat when polishing the coin. look at the high points of the devices in that area to see what I mean. the 21 peace are typically weak but this is not from strike imo as that would be a higher area on the die and should be actually stronger since it would hit the planchet first AU details (Cleaned/polished)  |

Too many dark areas to see the surface details clearly.

Agree with the cleaned/polished observations.

It's been improperly cleaned and/or polished. Looks to have AU details.

Doesn't look right. I agree with AU detail and altered surfaces. Polished or whizzed.

There's no question it's authentic. It's the condition that is the concern.

It is an outstanding strike for a 21 Peace. I agree it has been polished. I'd like to hear more about the tissue test as well. |
