<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 8229442, member: 84595"]That's a nice circulated coin. I'm in Northeastern, PA and over the years I have bought over 24, 1928 Peace dollars. 12 for my circulated sets and 12 extras ( 5 are used to show the different die gouges for the VAM 1 at coin club meetings). Your 8 doesn't arouse any suspicions for me. I don't see a removed mintmark ( I have two removed mint marks for educational purposes). It's best to have this coin in hand to authenticate it. What does it weight (26.73 grams +- due to wear), does it stick to a magnet, diameter correct? I would do an XRF to determine silver content although I don't think it's counterfeit. I've looked at your coin and checked all the VAM varieties and without it being in hand, it's hard to determine what VAM variety you have but it is not the one with the doubled R or Doubled Tiera rays ( I enlarged your pictures). I would send it to ICG and have them determine its authenticity and if not encapsulate it For Educational Purposes Only. Have you gone to VamWorld to check the die characteristics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
