Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience... twenty times.
Blue + 15% is an insult! I usually detest Peace dollars - even HRs - but I like this one.
Salute the automobile: The greatest anti-pollution device in human history! (Just think of city streets clogged with a hundred thousand horses each generating 15 lbs of manure every day...)
I bet I could get $ 1000 for her easy.... I was getting $ 950 a year and a half ago (yep) for ultra clean 64 blast gems like this one.... she's in the top 5 of my set... um... hourd.... I wouldn't even let her go at that price..... really....
Thus the little devil symbol after my comment...I'd probably trade a certain PCGS MS65 1928 Peace Dollar that we were recently discussing straight up for this one. I was planning on upping my offer to bid+15% and then ask+15% but got busy until now (not like I thought either offer would be accepted).

Rella... I already turned down $ 1000+ you'll have to go a little higher....
I think you'll see this date keep going up... just 8 months ago I was buying all of the MS-62' I could at $ 280.... now... premium ones are at $ 500+... "premium" is the key... I saw a toned 62 in a PCGS holder go for just $ 370 on ebay the other day....... eye appeal is everything.....
Some of you who are looking for this coin may find it hard to find as I can say that I've pretty much bought every high end great eye appeal 28' coin out there in the last 3 years..... when I say high end..... I mean, put a ".9" at the end of the grade. I don't buy coins that are "ho-hum"... i'm looking for the coin you show your friend and they are shocked to see it..... There are a lot of dealers out there who won't even talk to me anymore because they feel I'm way too picky (I've had some returns...lol) in what I want and that the coin that I want just doesn't exist..... o well... to some extent I agree with them.....
Where the higher end 28' will go... who knows... just be careful what you buy out there... there's a lot of garbage... a lot of "enhanced" photos...... cleaned raw coins.....
The VAM book says that De Francisci posed the model (for this coin) before an open window to get the windswept look. And as I believe we all know, the model was his new, much younger wife.
This splendid example of a Peace Dollar (re)confirms its solid position as one of the most creative and beautiful of U.S. coins. And it is a Key to boot. Well done Peaceman
Peaceman: That's a beautiful 1928 Peace Dollar! I agree with you that MS-64.9's are a great value in today's market especially with the great eye appeal of your coin.
