Owner Comments:

This 1926-S Peace Dollar is a Blast White specimen with outstanding eye appeal as signified by the NGC "Star" Designation. NGC has only issued the MS 66* grade to two coins, and in MS66 the NGC total population is 40 with one MS66+ coin. The surface fields on this Coin are so brilliant they appear almost Proof Like. This coin was obviously one of the very first strikes minted after heavy die polishing and as a result the mirrored surfaces are so reflective and eye appealing NGC awarded the STAR Designation for the Coin's Superb Eye Appeal! This Coin was Pedigreed to the Pamela Henard Peace Dollar Collection in 2018.

Mark Salzberg, NGC Chairman and Grading Finalizer:
Why is it a Star? The die polishing on this coin gives it reflective fields that are almost Prooflike. The strike is exceptional; the surfaces are exceptional. On coins having reflective fields, marks stand out more than usual. This one does have a couple of tiny marks, and that’s why it got a Star instead of a higher grade.
