Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 03/09/2008 9:05 pm I would grade this 1923-S as F-15 details. The obverse is better, and might pass for VF-20. The amount of hair detail is the primary issue in this grade range. For the reverse to be VF, the three horizontal rows of feathers on the wings should be visible. I only see one (the bottom row). Both sides have a lot of "chatter" (little tic marks). Some collectors would lower the "net grade" for that reason. In my opinion, it is "an F-15 with a lot of chatter." Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/09/2008 9:11 pm I'll agree with Bilbo only because the strikes on the Peace were so poor. If they had been any much better, I'd find it hard to make the overall net on that coin above Very Good because of all the other stuff going on with the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
fiddler Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 03/09/2008 10:45 pm Are you sure that is not an 8? when I put it beside my other 23s the 3 is much more open which led me to believe this one was a 28 open up the pic of the 23 with pvc damage and put them side by side you'll see what I mean.

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 03/09/2008 11:48 pm It certainly looks like a "3" to me, and I've not heard of an "open 8," but I am definitely not an expert with Peace dollar varieties. The 3s in the two pictures do look a bit different, but they both look like 3s to me. Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 03/10/2008 5:05 pm Definatly a 1923 S. Mintmark set way to low for a 1928. The 3 has damage. Report this Post to the Staff
