I used to have a complete 24 coins Peace Dollar set. Most of the consisted of MS60-MS63. I have since sold most to obtain a higher quality 10 coin Date Set. Here is my 1928 upgrade. Guess the grade.

I go 64. looks nice!
Looks gemmy to me, MS65 or so. Many of these grade well even with significant field activity.
Edited to add: If it has booming luster and few hairlines it should be high grade though impossible to tell from pics..
MS66..... nice coin.... Still looking for a special one for my 'art appreciation' group. Cheers, RickO
MS 65+

Ms 65 to me.

64+ at least
Sweet coin!

Very nice. But, I'll have to say 63+ (maybe a 64) because of the obv rim at 1:00, rev rim at 8:00, hits on the rev rays, and the hit on the wing. Or am I being too picky?

64+, awesome coin

I'm going MS64.

If PCGS missed the reverse rim nick: MS66. If not, MS65. Original skin is tough to find on this key date.
I'm in the high 63 low 64 range.

IMO. too picky about the rim. IMO, the coin is not original. I see continuous hairlines = 62 but bump for lack of marks and eye appeal to MS-63.

63, maybe a shot at 64.

A 30K coin would certainly be an upgrade since he is coming from a $400 or so coin in 63 or less.
@Outhaul
I think too picky, those look very minor.
@Insider2
Unless I am misinterpreting what I see in the picture, I don't see the continuous hairlines you mention
@Wabbit2313
Where can you find a '28 Philly in 63 for $400? I think I need to shop there.

MS64. Nice coin and a tough date!
When I first looked at it I saw it as a 63. Then after reading the other's observations, I am now in the 64 camp.
65
64 with a slight chance of a +
63-64.
I'm going with MS64 CAC
Those of you guessing 65+ and 66 may wish to consider that a 65+ is a $9,000 pop 18 coin and a 66 is a $33,000 pop 17 coin with a single 66+.
I'm in at a very nice 64, possibly a 64+. I like the coin but I see a couple of things which probably keep it out of gem range. I'd be very happy to be wrong. Luster could possibly carry it - devilishly hard to always see in a photo.
To @Insider2 who feels the coin is not original, what exactly makes you think that? The coin has outstanding frost which isn't true of many coins that have been played with. I don't see any hairlines.

But lets just call it $600, or $1000, or $5000, my point remains. No way he is going up to a 66 and 30K plus!
@BryceM asked: "To @Insider2 who feels the coin is not original, what exactly makes you think that? The coin has outstanding frost which isn't true of many coins that have been played with. I don't see any hairlines."
The luster is "off" to my mind - more like a dull satin than bright frost. Look at the "cartwheel of light" under the "R" above the eagle. It appears too dull and wide as if a translucent sheet was between the coin and the light to diffuse the luster. Perhaps it is just an effect of a digital image.
Edit for Wabbit: When there are continuous very fine hairlines on a coin (left obverse field) it changes the appearance of the luster. That's what I'm seeing.
Difference of opinion I guess. Many Peace dollar issues frequently come with a satiny luster. The 28-P is one of those. Having photographed several hundred of them, the luster looks perfectly fine to me. How luster appears in a photo is almost infinitely variable based on the angle of lighting and the technique used. Quantifying the depth and brilliance of the luster from a single photograph is, in my opinion, impossible.

IMO, I'll just say often impossible. If it is original, I agree w/the 63 posts. The OP is certainly not going to 'Upgrade" to an AU or "Details" coin.
PS I hope you all are having as much fun on CU as I am!!!
Nice obverse. Reverse with that big hit on the eagle may limit to 64.
That played a big factor in my observation!
Plus I see a good size nick on the reverse rim.
Lets go here. I don't have all night!!
Nice coin with a terrific image. I fear I am more impressed with the image... 63+
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Thanks for playing. The luster in hand is unbelievable.
Deserving for sure.

Beautiful coin. Glad to see I wasn’t too far off.
Another local collector a CPA who I see at the local library. showed me a close relative, a 1927 a few days ago. He bought it as a raw 63, my first impression of that one was better, but on inspection it looked properly graded in his 2x2. Thick luster, original frosty look carries the day.
Well, I blew that one... looked a lot better...
Cheers, RickO
Over estimated by 1................not bad for me
Nice coin
