Historical significance
Lowest-mintage business strike of the Peace Dollar series, making 1928 the essential key date.
Contemporary accounts note special interest in 1928-dated dollars, including a period reference in The Numismatist (Feb. 1929) tied to the Tammany Hall cornerstone ceremonies—an evocative snapshot of the coin’s era.
As Q. David Bowers notes, many 1928 dollars were saved, yet true Gems remain elusive, elevating MS66 examples to condition-rarity status.
