D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 7:38 pm I think that has one of the sharpest strikes that I have seen for that date. I would guess MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
dom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 9:13 pm i agree, really strong strike for this date. the hair and eagle feathers usually show a very weak flat strike. I'll say ms62-63 Report this Post to the Staff
BuffalosRock Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 11:26 pm Thanks, that's about where I was thinking but I was worried I was overgrading it. MS63, or at worst MS62, was my thoughts. I've seen some certified 62's and 63's both that aren't as crisply struck and look more marked up as well. I'm really happy with the price I paid for it. Anyone know why they made the "U" in TRUST a "V" on the obverse for Peace dollars, but all four on the reverse are just plain Us? Kinda funky!

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 01:36 am the V is used instead of a U as part of the architectural alphabet, there are some buildings that were built in the early 20th century with this also. In Latin the U and V are the same and he 20th letter in the alphabet they are both consonant and a vowel. The word Venus would have been spelled as Venvs, first V would sound like Veee (consonant) and the second v sounds like uh (vowel) I plagiarized this from another site just to answer this question Report this Post to the Staff
