Message:: [QUOTE="ckachu16, post: 621675, member: 19019"]I have a question and am afraid of the answer. I have bought a set of Peace Dollars and the 1928-P, obviously the key to the whole set, has a shinny polished look to it. I do know that this is a highly counterfeited coin which a lot of time it being polished means that it was altered, usually the S taken off of the 1928-S coin and then buffed out to look like a 1928-P coin. That is not my concern though. I have verified that it is a actual 1928-P mint coin. My concern is that it would be in a MS condition if not for it having been polished at one time. All the details are perfect and looks to be uncirculated, however, my question is if the fact that it has been polished at some point, does this make it completely worthless? And by worthless, I mean is it only worth its value in silver? Or being such a tough date and such perfect condition (obviously except for the fact it has been polished) does it still hold some value? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not home now, but if enough people would like, I could download some pictures of it. Any help until then would be great.[/QUOTE]
