1928 Peace Silver Dollar
This is a United States Peace Silver Dollar dated 1928, designed by Anthony de Francisci. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 38.1 millimeters. On the obverse, it features the left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a radiate crown, with the inscriptions 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date '1928'. The coin is currently housed in a clear protective plastic capsule. The surface shows a dull, greyish patina consistent with silver oxidation over time. In terms of condition, the piece exhibits significant circulation wear: the high points of Liberty's hair and the cheek are flattened, and there are numerous small contact marks and scratches visible across the fields. Notably, there are dark spots of toning or possible debris near the 'S' in 'TRUST' and on the neck. The date is clearly legible, though the strike appears somewhat soft in the central details. The 1928 Philadelphia minting is highly significant to collectors as it represents the lowest mintage of the entire Peace Dollar series, making it a key date for numismatists despite the visible wear and surface marks.
