1928 Peace dollar Poor-1

Is there any way to tell the difference between 1928 and 1928-S Peace dollars in this low grade? PCGS returned it with a No Decision/ Refund bodybag.

    Not that I'm aware of. Common problem for those of us that colect low grade Peace Dollars.

    They have sent this one back when submitted at "cross at any grade" for the same reason you got.

  • Here's my 28 S that is currently in a AG3 slab. I have PO1's that are not as worn as this one. You can just see the right side of the S mintmart.

    Good luck......for some reason, PCGS is VERY tight on low grade 28P's. I've submitted a number that are clearly 1928 dated coins......but unfortunately, rim wear into the mm area tends to obliterate the MM on low grade coins making definitive identification very difficult.

    If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
  • A 1928 Peace $ had 3 obverse dies that were used... each have distinct identifiers on them (die gouges). One is located on the "E" in LIBERTY, a small slanted die gouge. one is by the "B" too... Do a search on this site, you should find the info you need. If you can find the identifier on your coin then you should be set....
  • looks more like a FR2!

    There are actually four obverses on the 1928-P, one of them quite rare.
    You should be able to see some surviving die polish between the rays between B and E of LIBERTY.
