1927-S NGC MS-65. 1927-S NGC MS-65.
Lot Title: 1927-S NGC MS-65.
Description: No sensible person would dispute the key status of 1927-S at the GEM grade level. In MS-65, the value is bettered by only 1925-S and 1928-S, and even the heavily promoted 1934-S is more common at this rarified level. NGC suggests that there are 71 graded MS-65, but has graded only a single coin higher, which means this is the maximum practical grade for enthusiasts of the series. The sharpness of this example exceeds expectations, showing powerful central definition on the obverse, and nearly complete delineation of the curls covering Liberty's ear. On the reverse, perceptible weakness is limited only to the eagle's upper leg and the top of his talons. Steel-grey luminosity dominates both sides, with slight greying of a small oblong area of the obverse edge at 2:00, and like toning on the reverse, also at 2:00. (PCGS# 007372)

1927-S PCGS MS-64.

741The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$900.00
1927-S NGC MS-64.
1927-S becomes the second or third key to the Peace dollar series at the grade level of MS-64, significantly exceeded in rarity only by 1934-S, which is of course the key in most popular BU grades. ...

1927-S NGC MS-64.
Die polish parallels the top of some of the rays on the reverse, providing an interesting visual diversion from the gorgeous luster as this coin is tilted in the light. Similarly bold luster emanates...
660The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$290.00
1927-S PCGS Genuine.
In any decent uncirculated grade, 1927-S is a key to the Peace dollar series. The example offered here features MS-60 details, full, blazing luster and a dearth of handling marks, yet the eye appeal...
697The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$355.00
1927-S MS-63.
An absolutely sparkling white coin that surrenders nothing in the eye-appeal department. No hairlines or rim dings are present to detract from the lovely, choice appearance, and most collectors would...

1927-S MS-63.
Even in MS-63, the 1927-S Peace dollar starts to become expensive, but the price at least triples in just the next higher grade, making this MS-63 example an excellent selection for a nicer BU set. ...
819The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,200.00
1927-S PCGS MS-64.
This key Peace dollar is distinguished by animated mint luster and good original quality, but gem consideration is denied by several opaque spots that have the appearance of water stains. Vestigial...
774The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$975.00
1927-S PCGS MS-64.
A liberal supply of eggshell-grey patina tints the surfaces, but does not deprive the collector from viewing the flashy, satiny mint luster lurking just beneath. Even in high grades, 1927-S often...
886The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$1,200.00
1927-S REDFIELD MS-64+.
