DESCRIPTION:
We had to scan this coin with a
black background because the luster coming off of the coin's surface
literally washed out the images with bright light. Peace Dollars
from the San Francisco Mint are noted for weakness of strike, but this
bright white example is an exception with a very nice strike for the
series. Miss Liberty's cheek is free from the commonly found
bagmarks or distractions, and her flowing hair curls are almost in
full detail/relief. The eagle's back feathers are in very good
detail to include his (or her) right leg feathers being
discernable. It is very difficult to find Peace Dollars in this
state of preservation, and it is an example certainly worth
considering for acquisition. It is also a Date / Mintmark that
has had modest appreciation over the last 5 years, and is hardly
overvalued.
