1928 Peace Dollar Help Needed

I recently bought some silver coins as a bullion purchase and I didn’t expect anything of value. I just wanted some more physical silver in hand. When I purchased the coins I separated the Morgan and Peace Dollars by date and quickly reviewed the to make sure they looked authentic and not too beat up. I reviewed the quantities, by date, with the seller and arrived at the total quantity purchased…I believe I got a very good price. The seller never argued dates or my comments.

After I got home I put them in the safe to review this weekend. I found this coin in the group of 1923 Peace dollars…does it look like a real Philadelphia mint? It does to me. What would be your grade estimates?

Sorry for the poor photo quality, but it’s the best I can do right now.

    In the first two pictures it looks like a great coin; in pictures 3 and 4 it looks like there might be some cleaning marks. I hope I am wrong because if I am you got a beauty.

    You've got yourself a genuine 28-P peace dollar there.

    More than likely cleaned/polished, but real nonetheless.

    A tiny bit below the "O" in "one" it looks like there is a lighter than normal spot. To me though, it does not look like a sanded off mint mark. If anything, it looks like a bad retouch job with photo software. Since that is out of the question..... I am 99% your coin is real. I'm also 100% It has been cleaned and or polished. There are hairlines everywhere - but that COULD be the pictures.

    All in all, good for you!

    A cleaned EF 28 Peace is a hell of a good find.

    I dunno. Might be a 28-s. Hard to tell from the picture.

    Look here for how to tell if it is genuine.
  • Placid, thanks for the reference link. I am unable to take a good enough picture, but the reference fingerprints in the top picture are evident on this coin. I am in agreement the coin has been cleaned because the fields do show some light cleaning lines.

    I was excited to find the coin.

    Thanks for the help, this forum is great!

    I'd guess worth around $350-$375
