Peace Silver Dollar

1928-S Peace Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC).

Rarely offered at the Gem MS-65 grade level, this is a truly memorable 1928-S dollar. Otherwise brilliant, both sides exhibit speckles of golden-russet color bisecting the centers. These are as made, and seen most often on San Francisco Mint issues in the Peace dollar series. The strike is uncommonly bold, especially on the obverse, and frosty surfaces are remarkably well preserved with a generally smooth appearance. Vying only with the 1925-S for this distinction, the 1928-S is one of the two rarest issues of this type at the Gem Mint State grade level. While the 1928-S usually has much better luster quality than the 1925-S, both often display poor striking detail with most examples blunt in the centers. Heavily abraded surfaces are also the norm and the vast majority of 1928-S dollars extant grade no finer than MS-64. The offering of a certified MS-65, as here, represents a significant opportunity in today's market and this coin is sure to see spirited bidding.
