'28 Peace, GTG (grade posted)

FadeToBlack

Sending this one in... think the rim hit at 12 on the obverse prevents a grade? I don't think so. I got this one for real cheap.

XF45 (AU50 netted for rim ding @ 12 o'clock on obverse)

Nice coin

I say details grade AU-50,, I had a 1934-S with a similar rim hit and PCGS body bagged it 2x,, this was done before details grading was started.

Won't straight grade unfortunately. Coin has a really nice look though!

AU50.

XF40, if it grades at all...Cheers, RickO

AU 50 Details

Looking at the wear and not all the dings, I'd guess 53. If the grader doesn't like the rim ding, Net AU50, details.

Be sure to report the results FTB.....Cheers, RickO

Nice strike. MS 63

MsMorrisine

I'm still learning these.

strike strength can confuse wear.

AU5x.K or .J ? or a MS60-61

tough to nail down severity of hits as related to coin because of inexperience grading Peace from pictures this size.

<< <i>So anywhere between XF and MS and possibly details lol. Thanks for the opinions. >>



What is your opinion, fadetoblack?

After seeing your pics on larger monitor, that ding does look pretty nasty, but I still think the coin has a fair shot at grading...

And if it does grade, hopefully one of the three prongs hides the ding ... I kid!

Well, first of all, any 1928 Peace dollar is a nice coin.

There are only 24 coins in the series but only 1 out of every 530 dollars minted was a 28-P.

This one looks to have a little remaining luster in protected areas such as in the reverse lettering. I see it as an XF45 with a strong chance of not grading due to the rim issue. For me the fields are just a little too dull to get the AU designation. I don't think I'd be happy buying this sight-unseen in an AU50 holder.

XF40 from your pictures. The rim ding may net grade it less. Not enoough luster for XF45, but if mine I would dip it in acetone before submitting just to see if there is more lustre under the dirty looking surface.

kaz

Put me in the 40 camp. hope she grades!

MsMorrisine

Oh

That sheds some new light on it


Grades out at AU50.J

AU details.
Why send it in?

Now that I can see the coin much better, thank you. The coin will not grade it had PVC damage and it was removed leaving that white toning spot and the ding it's too much . It will not grade. AU 50 details should be body bagged.
I stand corrected.......er well, at least I correct myself. $34 you're right you can't lose.

when you get it back there will be............

Genuine, rim damage.

The 1928 Peace Dollar is not rare or even scarce. A dealer I knew used to put away choice examples that he bought at his shop circa 1974-2000. He had more than 200 of them put away!

It wouldn't hurt to soak it in acetone.


Where are the PVC locations, 410a?

AU50. That ding would probably be ok for a problem free holder.

Yes Bryce, it's a scarce and desirable date in a beautiful series. I've always liked 28 Peace dollars.

Thanks for sharing the good news.

The is on you........

That coin straight-graded AU55???? I need to see pics in the straight-graded holder!!! If that did straight-grade, not that I don't believe you, but that's a minor/med score, especially for $34!! Congrats! (Still wanna see that slab....I was certain the hit up top would be too much).

And, while it may NOT be rare or scarce, the '28 is one of the many 'key' dates (odd, the Peace $ set has more than a couple 'key' and 'semi-key' dates/MM, deprnding on MM/grade...the '21, '24-S, '25-S (high grade), '27-D, '27-S, '28-P, '28-S, '34-S, '35-S...man, now that I look at it like this, damn near the whole series, except the '22 and '23 are 'key' or 'semi key' coins...lol) in the Peace series. But for the OP's '28-P Peace to get straight-graded AU55, our hosts just put a nifty little price guide of $470 on a $34 coin, a coin I believe the consensus was more than leaning towards 'not grading' or 'body bagging' for one or more reasons. I'd say a little less that 14 times what he paid (according to 'guide'), less the grading (was this a freebie???....can't recall if mentioned), shipping...though putting a 'realistic' price on it, it still turned into a coin worth, after everything's said and done, 10 as much as he paid, that's after everything, EXCEPT future ebay/PP fees, should it get sold down the line)...not a bad roll of the dice, if you ask me, not bad at all, especially, again, considering most said 'no grade'....though, there are many HERE who wouldn't pay $350, there's still ALOT who would bid it on ebay.

'Key' or 'semi-key' dates don't necessarily have to be scarce OR rare, just means that they are....'key' or 'semi-key' dates, and as such, being popular and sought after (and yeah, there are enough to go around, strictly in numbers, but if you are 'strike conscious' or want a 'certain look', that cuts it down considerably), they only command 'key'/'semi-key' prices...not 'rare' or 'scarce' prices. I'd be very happy were I the OP. Congrats!

Congratulations!
I was fully expecting 40 to 45!
You really scored on that sucker!!! Looks like lots of high point rub on your later photos... No way would I go 50.
Must look better in hand...
Great flip!

410a

The white spotting on the cheek reminded me of PVC damage that had been removed of course it was my opinion that is what the coin had suffered. Now, it would seem I stand corrected. Thank you.

Nice! There must be some luster under the toning that isn't showing in the photos.
