I want one of these bad, but I've decided that if I get one it's going to be a TPG, unless the ungraded one i'm looking at is an unbelievable steal. Ungraded on ebay are selling for 80% of the price of a graded one. I think i'd rather pay the extra 20% for the service.

 

None!

The minting of U.S. Silver Dollars was suspended in 1804 and did not resume until late 1835 or early 1836. However, records show that some 1804 "Original" Silver Dollars were minted in 1834 and 1835! If any Silver Dollars had been minted in 1828, they would definitely be of a different design than the Peace Dollar design!

benk1234,

The new pictures tell a completely different story about your 1928 Peace Dollar! However, I would bet that it even looks better in hand! Pictures sometime taken in poor light of a coin in a plastic holder are many times poor to good at best! Combine that with viewing them over the Internet on a Computer Monitor that may not have enough pixels, then you get a picture that is really poor in quality and many times distorted and out of focus.

I really don't see evidence of cleaning or pitting and the toning looks about normal for the grade! I do see a few nicks and dings here and there but I can tell very little about the rims due to the holder blocking out those areas of the images. Although the Obverse shows some wear on Miss Liberty's hair, I believe that the Reverse should give the coin at least a net AU50 to AU55 Grade even with the nicks and dings.

Well if you look at that photo it says there is one....but I've yet to find it!!!

Well, I looked, and indeed I did use some of those three-hole PVC sheets to display coins. However, each coin is enclosed in one of those individual cardboard/cellophane holders. It appears that no corrosion has occured in 20 years. Is it OK to place non-corrosive coin holders in PVC sheet holders?

I have a copper coin that has significant greenish corrosion on it. I must assume here that to leave the coin in that state might casue the corrosion to spread. Is that the case? If it were rust on the body of my truck, I would "kill" the rust with H2PO4 , brush, and primer it. I am inclined to clean up the old copper coin. What do you think about that?

I found some nice ladies in one of my coin boxes, plus old Winston. I never appreciated these coins so much before I began reading and seeing your (CoinTalk) stuff. The petina, or whatever you call the tones on silver, is quite pretty. I think I shall take an aspirin and go to bed before I catch what you folks have.

 

Here is the corroded Peso, just like the one I shot in 1968 in the desert of Baja California del Norte.

What is the story on the British coin? Is it a commerative coin?

 

XF-45 in my opinion. Great Coin.

 

Nice coin I'd say AU 50.

 

opportunity to enlist a TPG

This is possibly a good opportunity to enlist a TPG for authentication & grading.

1928 Peace dollars have been made from 1928-S Peace dollars. Focus on the mint mark location & confirm that there are uninterrupted flow lines. Can someone post some things to look for on a genuine 28 vs. 28S?

You are aware that the original poster has not been active here on CT for about 2 1/2 years and your responding to a thread that is 3 years old?

 

So Isaiah clicked on a three year old thread and then someone else responds and then someone else.....

Obviously, I need to learn how to navigate better & be careful to read the year in the date.

So what was the verdict on the 1928 three years ago? I assume the consensus opinion was that it was a genuine in xf with maybe some surface problems.

Don't feel bad, he's gotten me too. I have to be a little more observant than I used to be.
