1928 peace dollar question
1970s

This coin is in an NGC MS 64 holder. Do you have any concerns with the coin ?
I'm thinking of buying it. 1k seems a little high, but I really like it

Not for me. IMO, $700 max. Nice white coin though and not close to MS-65.
Shop around, and look at recent auction records - does the coin represent fair value for the money? If this is an exceptional example relative to other 64s you've seen, then go for it....but as PCGS alone has certified over 2k examples in 64, and recent auction records for 64's (June) are showing prices under $800, my personal recommendation is that you can probably do better.
I'd want and expect a clean cheek for 1k.
Seems like a lot of central area marks for the $$ and grade. The gash on her cheek and banging at base of bust would bother me if evaluating the coin. But --- photos make it a little tough to tell how prominent the defects are. Your decision, though.
Keep looking and don't be so generous. The 1928 peace Dollar is actually quite common. Wait until a nice coin with an equally nice price comes along.
As a friend often tells me,
“You can do better.”
I would also pass.
The sellers image seems to be hiding the scuff in front of her chin. This is from NGC.

I seen that too and it has the right luster but the slight scratch on cheek will hold in back on upgrade so price is a little high.
Best place to buy !

Has a nice look but I agree with the others, $1k is a little too much

Pass
Too high with the cheek scratch.
The hit on the cheek isn't going away... it will be omnipresent when/if you ever go to sell.

Pass on it !!!
Not for me.
Agree with the others. The mark on the cheek is the first thing my eyes were drawn to.

Too much money for that coin... I would pass....I have been looking at a lot of Peace dollars lately, and while that is OK for the grade, I would look for better, and cheaper. Cheers, RickO
Definitely shop around for one cheaper!

'Ricko' white I like but the seemingly deep scratch on her cheek I rather not see
I think you can do better for the price....be patience
Agree with the others. Keep looking, the right girl will show up.
Have you seen it in hand and do you think it's a 3+? That's what they have it priced as.

When buying you should think like a dealer; however these coins have lots of surface area and I would rather have chatter any day than "ugly" issues like bad toning.
Tough call then... I would pass at that price without being able to actually see it. I've been burned by photos before as I'm sure many here have as well.

The reverse is no prize either.
I would keep looking.
Peace Dollars are not something I collect but I will offer an opinion: the current market for coins, especially mid-grade key date coins with a generic look like this is soft and getting softer. either wait for a nicer coin at $1,000, wait for this coin to drop by about $300 or, better yet, just wait.
the coin market as I see it from MyLoftyPerch is like a bad case of acne --- it's gonna get much worse before it gets better. we're in a buyers market so you should move carefully, be cautious and wield your power as a buyer.
Yes $225 is too much. So many 63's are selling for under $150 right now. Terrible market on these.
I blame Weiss and his dang "near impossible" NGC 1921 Peace Dollar.
He even got ME looking at the common things.
I don’t think the 1928 would cross into a PCGS 64 holder.
Good research!
Nice catch..
I get nervous at side shots like these since they are usually glamour shots. Unless there's are two solid head-on photos mixed in.
