1928 Peace Silver Dollar
This is a United States Peace Silver Dollar, dated 1928, encapsulated in a clear plastic protective numismatic capsule. The coin features the profile of Lady Liberty facing left on the obverse, wearing a crown of rays, designed by Anthony de Francisci. The inscriptions 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date '1928' are clearly visible. Physically, the coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with an original diameter of 38.1 mm. The strike appears somewhat soft in the high points of the hair, which is characteristic of the series, though it retains significant detail. There are visible surface marks, including small nicks and scratches on Liberty's neck and in the fields, consistent with light circulation or 'bag marks' from storage. The luster appears somewhat muted but present, suggesting a grade in the About Uncirculated to Mint State range. The 1928 Philadelphia strike (no mint mark) is the key date for the Peace Dollar series, making it highly desirable due to its exceptionally low mintage of only 360,649 coins. This specimen lacks a mint mark above the '1' in 1928, confirming it as the rare Philadelphia mintage. The coin shows a natural silver patina with no signs of harsh cleaning, although some minor dark spotting is visible near the center.
