Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6386 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 12:08 pm I picked up this raw semi-key Peace dollar at our coin club auction. My cost was $51 which I thought was a fair but probably not excellent price. How would you all grade this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 1:13 pm This one's too close to tell without inspecting it in-hand, but I'll try anyways. Under the lighting conditions of the photographs, I see no rub on the cheek; I'm inclined to call it Mint State for that reason. Consider that, upon circulation, the first things to disappear will be the bagmarks in the flat areas of the devices, even before details begin to show wear. MS62, and well-bought.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 2:08 pm I agree without having it in hand it's a little difficult to call. From what I can see the obverse has no visible wear but does show some bag marks. On the reverse I see what appears to be some very slight wear on the eagles feathers on upper right shoulder, side, and lower back. I'm going to say AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
