aaronomy New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 06/29/2009 8:49 pm Could you guys take a look at these coins? I just want to get an idea. Could you also give me some points to look for when grading coins, like hair lines, etc? Thank you! -Aaron Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/29/2009 9:12 pm I would grade the Peace dollars at AU-50, Grade is based on the amount of hair above the eye and ear of Liberty and on the feathers of the eagle. The Franklin would also grade in the AU range, but their is a lot of finger print marks on this coin which is going to effect the grade a bit. Grade based on the amount of hair on franklin and the amount of detail on the bell. This coin looks to be FBL or full bell lines. Where all the line in the bell have no wear.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/02/2009 10:05 pm AU53/55 range on the Peace dollar and AU range on the Franklin. Both have ample luster which is a requirement for the AU grades. High points of the designs will have slight wear from circulation. Someone unfortunately mishandled the Franklin which appears to be proof or proof like. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
