This is why Peace dollars get a bad rap! But yes, grading for this one is best left in had, and it is only technical grading as this toning will kill any value. |

Yikes, that is one ugly dollar. I like attractive toning, but (as NumismaticsFTW mentioned) this one would be a candidate for dipping. I've never done that for a collectible coin, but would probably make an exception on this one...  And, as others mentioned, I don't think there is any way to grade this coin, especially the obverse, from a picture. The obverse sort of looks like a Jackson Pollock painting...

The problem with dipping this, is I'm not sure there is actually a Liberty beneath the toning...  |

I did cheat in hopes that it was graded AU and cheap (as I do believe it is MS) and I will actually agree with the technical grade but not the plus!

I've stared at this for well over a minute and cannot for the life of me make out Liberty's nose from her lips and lips from her chin!  . As far as grade goes.. |

Very hard to grade a dark toned coin from photos.

Just looks like a pile of sand. Trying to make out the obverse is like cloud watching. You are just guessing and seeing things. Suffering from bust half fever.

One thing I do see in these photos is that this is an "S" Mint coin, not a 1928-P.

I also ended up cheating and finding the listing, and I have to admit in the seller's 2nd set of photos (taken at an angle) it looks far better. Still ugly in my opinion and difficult to try and guess a grade, but at least in those extra pics you can see a lot of the detail on the obverse.

Obviously a 68 w/ CAC under that toning. |

Can't tell anything from the obverse. The eagle appears to have significant wear on the head, shoulder, wing edges, and talons. I think I see luster in the reverse fields and around the tail. I'd guess XF-40, possibly up to AU-50 if detail loss can be partially blamed on strike.
It's an ugly coin and should be market-valued accordingly.
