The description says it was "whizzed". I think I would have gone with "Brillo Padded"...

I just have the feeling someone thought. "You know, I bet my grill brush will take care of that tarnish on my key date Peace dollar." |

It is scratched pretty badly. 1928 Peace dollar mintages: 1928 - 360,649 1928S - 1,632,000  |

If anyone were to describe the term "harsh cleaning" this would be the attached photo...

What a crying shame. No matter how bad it looked like it needed to be cleaned it surely looked better before it was put through this torture.

At this point, someone with a talent for whizzing could probably improve its appearance...

"whizzed" doesn't quite describe this.  |

Probably wouldn't be worth buying at any price. No pride of ownership or resale potential. I agree, a little more doctoring might not hurt.

I actually feel sorry for the seller to have to move a coin like that. Honestly, if I was a dealer, and somebody came to me with a coin that looked like that, I would turn them away. I couldn't stand to have it in my inventory.

I am not a proponent of melting coins but this dollar needs to be put out of its misery even if it is a 1928.   Perhaps a good light buffing will remove the scratches and make its appearance a little more palatable. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

At this point, it's nothing more than bullion.
