Mak New Member Denmark 13 Posts	Posted 02/26/2017 2:13 pm So I bought this 1928 Peace dollar the other day - turns out it has a lot of scratches/damage where the mint mark would be. Not an expert on US coins by any means, but surely I'll have to catalogue this as a 1928S? Report this Post to the Staff

mcstone Valued Member United Kingdom 179 Posts	Posted 02/26/2017 2:36 pm I would. It looks like someone was pretty motivated to remove the mint mark at some point Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 02/26/2017 2:53 pm Yes. The motivation was to turn it into a 1928-P Peace dollar, which is a key date. This has been done many times, but seldom as badly as this. I hope you didn't pay too much for this coin. The post mint damage is severe. Report this Post to the Staff

Mak New Member Denmark 13 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 05:12 am Thanks everyone. I was aware of the scratches before agreeing to buy it, so no problems with the seller. Paid $25.50 for it, expecting it to be a 1928 S, which fills a hole in my collection anyway :-) Report this Post to the Staff
