Tough date in higher mint state conditions, it’s typically held back due to a mushy strike. This one is a MS64+ with an above average strike, flashy luster, & typical, muted Peace dollar toning. The pictures both accurately represent the coin’s appearance. Feel free to comment on my latest addition…
Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

Nice pickup and a date/mm that I like!
Its a coin I would put in my set. Congrats!
When I started the Peace dollar series about a year and a half ago, I figured the 1928 & 1934-S were the only 2 hard-to-obtain (key) dates in the series. How hard can collecting 24 coins be?
Boy was I wrong. The S-mint dates from 23-S to 28-S are difficult to find in gem condition, a nice strike, with attractive toning (or at least not unattractive toning) and at a reasonable price. The jump from 64 to 65, or from 65 to 66 can be substantial. Condition rarity is real in the Peace dollar world.

I'm not a peace dollar fan, but that one has character.
I like it!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Thanks! It took me many years to warm up to the Peace design, maybe because in my mind it didn’t fit the classic US dollar coin look. I’m a Morgan guy & the idea of Peace dollars being minted from melted Morgans didn’t sit right with me either.
I think the 2021 Peace dollar revival turned me around on that idea.

That's a very handsome Peace Dollar ... great date and mint combo', well struck, attractive surfaces and nice color. Really quite the coin.

Thanks @pursuitofliberty ; I had been watching it for a while on GC and was excited to pull the trigger on it.
I find myself searching for Peace dollars more than Morgans these days. Probably a healthy decision...

Great original tone on that nice looking 28-s. I prefer the Great Collection picture over the true view.
I rather like it! The color is just perfect shows it’s original, but it’s not over the top with extra toning.
I’ve always loved the peace dollar design!
I am a type collector, so I just have one example which is mostly white with slight toning…

An excellent acquisition. I like the TV as it exhibits a gold like tone. Big fan of the Peace design.
