1923P Peace Dollar (Grade revealed)

[Bugmann1974]

What do you guys think?

First off let me note, I know these pics aren't the best but this coin is a pain in the butt to image because it is super lustrous.

 

There are a few things to note, On the Obverse The line going from the T in trust across the base of liberty's neck and to the 1 in the date is a die crack, not a scratch.

I don't know what that is on the front of Liberty's neck, but it is not on the coin itself.

You can see a halo around the center of both pictures, You can see it best right in front of Liberty's forehead, this is a reflection of the camera's lens.

 

On the reverse, again the halo from the camera lens, and the fingerprints on the upper left side are on the plastic, not on the coin.

Really nice looking Peace dollar.I don't see any major or even minor problems.A few minor contact marks These coins can be tough. I'll say 65.

[HiHoAudio]

Two small scratches on the eagle but otherwise unblemished with gorgeous fields and tons of luster.

 

I'd be suprised if this isn't an MS65.

[James_OldeTowne]

MS-66, unless PCGS was being their usual political selves and used the dart board to grade this one.

65+

[Mark T]

Great looking coin , I agree with the MS 65 or better consensus .

I think it is a 66 .

[Bugmann1974]

Believe me when I say that this coin is absolutely beautiful, I had no problem paying under MS64 bid on this one.

[physics-fan3.14]

So maybe there is some truth to these slabs being undergraded ?

[BillJones]

I arrived at this one late, but I could not grade something MS-65 or 66 with that finger print on the revese.

[Bugmann1974]

On the reverse...the fingerprints on the upper left side are on the plastic, not on the coin.

I had made a post about this being MS 64.. then forgot to hit submit. I have one I bought years ago now, that is also MS 64 with booming luster. Nice coin.
