1928 Philly Peace

High AU for me as well.

AU-58.

I had the exact same thoughts as zxcccxz.
From first look, the obverse looks cleaned and unnatural.

That said, I've seen enough coins from you to trust you'd identify such coin if you came across it, so I'll just refrain from suggesting a grade.

I agree that this isn't cleaned/polished.

Thanks for all the input. Here is what I know about this coin. I bought it at the LCS for $250 last week. The dealer informed me that the discoloration seen at the bottom of the obverse under the 8 and also on the 9 was the result of contamination from a rusty staple in the old 2x2 that it was stored in when he bought it from a customer. He said he dipped just the bottom portion and it improved it but that it is still noticeable. Otherwise I agree with Super Dave that the obverse is problem free. This coin has exceptional eye appeal in hand actually. When I was in the LCS I did not notice the the upper left quadrant of the reverse that Super Dave mentioned, but then I took a look at the coin outside on a sunny day and after checking out the luster which nearly blinded me I saw those faint scratches also. I don't know what to make of those. Perhaps die polishing?
