Skeletonwizard8 Valued Member United States 162 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 8:30 pm Hello fellas, I want to confirm this 1928 Peace dollar is genuine. It tests out at 90% silver on the XRF, but I don't have a loupe to check the die diagnostics. Here are some pictures: Report this Post to the Staff

Buy a loupe. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 08:27 am Lack of luster, design mushiness, and placement of some of the lettering would raise flags for me. Hope some true Peace dollar experts will chime in. Any backstory to help us decide? Edited by halfamind 09/03/2022 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 11:03 am @chopped: there was no 1928-D Peace dollar. Just the key-date 1928 (mintage just over 360,000) and 1928-S (mintage 1.6 million). Peace dollars came from Denver only in 1922, 1923, 1926, 1927, and 1934. They were produced again in Denver in 1964, but that's a story for another day. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 3:51 pm This coin looks genuine. It is a circulated piece, so there wouldn't be much luster left. I don't see anything specific that would lead me to believe this coin is altered or a counterfeit. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
