AU details for me as well, and I've got to add not just details but harshly cleaned on the obverse as well.

The coin is conditionally rare, but I'm not certain I would consider it a "key date" myself. If you were building an AU+ set it definitely would be, but you can find run of the mill 34-s Peace dollars in G/VG for little more than a common date Peace dollar. This coin is similar to the 1884-S Dollar which is readily available in anything under XF, but once you hit AU and above prices skyrocket. To me, a key date would be a coin that carries significant premium no matter the grade, for this series I would consider that to be the 1921 and 1928 dollars. As for the grade, I'm not convinced it's cleaned, I had a 1928 Peace dollar in PCGS AU-55 and in it's harshest light had a very similar look to this one. I'd call it AU-55 and would like to see your pictures before determining details or not. Here's the 28 I'm talking about

AU details. OPs price paid seems much too high to me, but that's up to the OP to validate.

I have to agree.

I personally would not have paid $457. But if the OP is happy with the coin, who are we to argue?

AU-53. Some risk of a details grade.

The obverse is AU55 and reverse AU50. Overall AU53 with a strong chance of AU Details Cleaned. If the coin straight grades at AU55, the paid price is fine. If the coin grades out at AU Details cleaned, you paid over double the value.
