<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommybee, post: 979655, member: 24999&quot;]Max -</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1928 was beautiful.&nbsp; It was blast white.&nbsp; Maybe a little too white.&nbsp; I checked if for hairlines, but the light wasn&#039;t very good.&nbsp; I looked for the cartwheel and it just didn&#039;t look right.&nbsp; &#039;28&#039;s are usually pretty well struck and have nice cartwheel luster.&nbsp; My gut was that it had been dipped too many times and it impaired the luster.&nbsp; I would also not be suprised if it had been mechanically cleaned at some point.&nbsp; It was still an awesome looking coin though.&nbsp; Too awesome. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I asked the dealer where he got it and he said he thought he bought it from another dealer..he wasn&#039;t sure.&nbsp; I call BS on that as aside from the 1934-s, high grade &#039;28&#039;s are the key to the Peace Dollar series.&nbsp; I asked him why he hasn&#039;t sent it in for grading and he said he probably would if he couldn&#039;t sell it raw at that show.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He knows that coin would come back in a bag and there is no way he&#039;s sending it in.&nbsp; Also, he offered my MS 62 price on a coin he said was MS 64.&nbsp; That is another red flag.&nbsp; There is quite a price jump between those two grades.&nbsp; Why would he cut me a deal...a guy he&#039;s never met before.&nbsp; Remember, there are no STEALS in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
