1928 ungraded peace Dollar

What do you think this coin would be graded at or worth.

I'm not a coin dealer and I don't have a price sheet handy at the moment. I think most dealers would sell it as a low uncirculated coin - MS-62 at most. See what they go for on Ebay.

Looks honest (but your pictures need a bit of work). Definitely one that should be graded to understand what you really have. Reverse looks like an MS 64, Obverse more like 62, 63.

The photos are too poor to make any grading call.

Could be AU with scrapes or Unc with scraped. That pretty much 'grades' the coin. If you want to have a TPG put it in a nice plastic holder with deluxe printed paper label, and their opinion as to 'grade,' that's your decision. You might expect an offer of $350 -- if the scrapes are not very noticeable. If obverse scrapes are as prominent as in the top photo, you might be offered half that.

PS: There will be many more opinions coming soon. There was a back-up on the internet freeway and some were stuck in router traffic.

Pretty much exactly what I thought.

A few years ago I submitted my 1928 Peace $$ that I have had for over 40 years for grading. I had long thought that the proper grade would have been AU. the coin came back from PCGS details graded "improperly cleaned" . I don't remember ever cleaning it, but it was given to me by my Uncle who was a prolific coin collector........maybe he cleaned it.

I still do not find the marks that would indicate an improper cleaning, but this might be the downside risk with your coin. I will never sell mine as it is agreat memory of my Uncle who helped me greatly in this hobby, not willl I ever sell all of the two dollar bills and the proof sets he gave me. But if you are hoping to sell a graded coin for a nice profit, just know that the grade may not be what you hoped for.

It is very hard to tell from the pictures but I think I see some pretty severe scrapes on the neck that would result in a Details graded coin. It could be Unc details or AU details since the reverse looks like it has some rub. I wouldn’t bother to submit it.

Looks like rub on the neck and fields but nice luster - would probably bring strong AU money - $350-400 imo

Thanks everyone. That was my first post. I'll have to share some more.

@Gusher65...Welcome aboard.... The Peace dollar - judging from the pictures - has a nice reverse, but looks like scrape damage on the obverse...depending on severity, either an AU grade or genuine.... Cheers, RickO

Those scrapes look raised. I was thinking they were on the capsule and not the coin. So hard to tell from the picture.

Key date. I would send it in to our host for authenticity. I had one raw also. Having it "slabbed" is my choice.
