I have asked this question on here before, several months ago,but did not get much response
at the time. I have 5 1928 P Peace dollars in my collection ranging from AU58 to MS63 . Only 4 of them share one of the
3 known obverse die characteristics (as seen here http://www.oicoins.com/index_files/Page679.htm )
Someone on this site made mention of a 4th die having been discovered but did not elaborate .
My question is, what characteristics are unique to this 4th obverse die ? Pictures would be great.
I have 7 or 8 books specifically on silver dollars , with chapters devoted to Peace dollars all published within the last 30 years ,
and not one book has yet to go into detail about the 28 P . I am hopeing the new Peace dollar book
due out in November will address in detail ALL the known obverse dies of the '28.
The coin I have in question does not appear under extreme magnification to be a removed S mint mark ,
or an altered '23 . It was bought raw about 3 years ago @ $ 425 , I grade it a 63 , and it currently resides
in my Capital plastics 20th century type set holder (vintage mid-60's).

There is a fourth die pair, but I cannot remember what the characteristics are. We discovered it while I was at ANACS in the early 1980's, so you might check the ANACS column in The Numismatist from 1980 to 1984 to see if we wrote it up.
