schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 09:21 am I'm awful with grading, but picked these up yesterday at the flea market and thought they were in decent shape. This one is the best of the bunch as far as luster goes. However I'm curious about it possibly being cleaned. All the high points seem to be good but the "United" part of united states seems to be very low compared to the rest of the text. I'm curious if this wasn't possibly just a weak die strike, or if it really is just well worn then cleaned. My major curiosity is whether it could make MS or not. These also seem to have pretty low wear, although I notice a nick at the 7'o clock position on the rear of the '25. I'm curious if both of these could make AU or not. Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 1:18 pm 1925 MS 62. It does not look wized. As for being dipped, I just don't have the knowledge to tell 1924 AU 55. It does have detail of all the feathers. Peace dollars are notorious for being weakly struck, and the top feathers on the right wing go very fast. It is really hard to tell from these photos. But it does seem to have the golden patina that many came with from them mint. That Patina appears to have been worn in spots which is why I'm calling it AU. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 7:53 pm I would guess MS-62+ or 63 on the first 1925. The coin does not look like it has been abrasively cleaned because the luster looks to be intact. I am not sure what caused the word "United" to be weaker than the rest of the lettering but I don't think it is the result of wear and then cleaning. The 1924 looks like it might make EF-45 to lower AU. The 2nd 1925 might be AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
