    I built a type set some years back and high-graded out a '28 Peace dollar in AU... I see big numbers for value on the PCGS site. What is an actual value going to run?

    I will be selling it soon.
    thanks!

    Assuming it is genuine and accurately graded the Grey Sheet is $380/$410 Bid/Ask in AU.

    Thanks for that! I paid way less, but on closer scrutiny just now it may not be more than a very strong XF... Pictures are taken, just downloading a couple weeks worth at once and it is a slow process...

    Peace dollars are tricky to grade.

    pictures...

    Not happy with the photos, but I never am... The first is doctored with enhanced contrast and color tweaking. The rest are completely as they came from the camera.

    Note the blow-up of tiara details... It shows the doubling of the VAM2 variety.

    After a careful look last night I decided two things; I like Peace dollars less than I did before... They are no fun to grade!

    I think it is a solid XF+, but AU is doubtful. AUthenticity is of no concern to me because I know the history of the coin for most of its existence.
    thanks for any insights!

    I think it could go AU-53 , they are notoriusly hard to grade , ie week strikes and all .
    How's the luster , by your pictures it's hard to tell .

    I would call the luster far better than average. It is in a 2x2 and I hate to remove it... The plastic does nothing to enhance...

    Any ideas on taking a representative picture of "luster"?

    The reverse has the tiniest hint of copper toning, too.

    I paid $409 for my AU 1928 about a year ago. I like collecting Peace Dollars and I like grading them because its a challenge. I may put together another set soon.

    I love peace dollars, I'm two away from having a nice MS set. This one I'd call it XF-45. It's hard with the tone like the way it is for me to be comfortable in my grade.

    Tater, we always seem to like the same sets. I thought I was close to finishing my MS set, but trust me you are much closer. What are the last two you have left?
