1928-S Peace Dollar, MS65+
Condition Census Rarity
PCGS CoinFacts Plate Coin

1928-S $1 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: JDC. The 1928-S is the scarcest Peace dollar in the series in Gem and better grades, narrowly beating the 1925-S for the lowest certified population in this condition. The auction appearance rate of the 1928-S in Gem condition is almost identical to that of the 1925-S, suggesting that both issues have an arguable claim to being the scarcest in the series, although the 1928-S is the more famous rarity at the Gem level.

The JDC 1928-S is firmly within the Condition Census for the issue. It is one of just four Plus-graded Gems at PCGS, where a single MS66 piece is reported finer. NGC has seen no Plus-designated pieces in this grade and also lists only a single MS66 coin finer (7/21). Neither of the MS66 pieces have appeared at auction, and the JDC coin is one of just two Plus-designated MS65s that have appeared publicly. The present coin holds the auction record for any 1928-S dollar from its last appearance in the March 2019 Legend sale, where it realized $55,813. Plated on PCGS CoinFacts, it displays dazzling, frosty mint luster and boldly rendered devices, with beautiful preservation of the delicate surfaces. Much of each side displays ivory-white color, while overlays of gold and amber grace the left and right obverse margins. Eye appeal is exceptional. Population: 70 in 65 (4 in 65+), 1 finer. CAC: 9 in 65, 0 finer (6/21).
