1928 Peace Dollar MS-63 NGC

---

The 1928 Peace silver dollar stands out as a particularly compelling issue for those exploring twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia mint without a mint mark, this coin represents a moment when production numbers dropped significantly. Out of the entire series, the Philadelphia mint produced only 360,649 of these silver dollars in 1928, making it the lowest mintage of any regular-issue Peace dollar from that facility. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, preserving the details of its original design. The obverse displays the classic profile of Liberty wearing a crown of light rays, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, spelled with a classic V in place of the U. The reverse features a bald eagle perched on a mountain crest, looking toward the dawn, with the word PEACE inscribed at the base. Struck in 90 percent silver with a total silver content of 0.7734 troy ounces, this coin is a remarkable survivor of the pre-1933 era. Its combination of a historically low mintage and high-grade preservation makes it an incredibly fascinating piece of United States numismatic history to study and appreciate.
