1928(P) nickels are common in all grades, though they appear to be slightly scarcer than 1927(P) and 1929(P).
The strike for this issue is usually good, but not quite as sharp as for other P-Mints of the late 1920s. In addition, the placement of the date may give the illusion that the 8 is not distinctly separated from the hair ribbon.
1928(P) typically possess very bright and pleasing luster. Frosty examples are the norm, and these don’t seem to have been coined from heavily worn dies to the extent that other issues were. This quality is partially offset, however, by the slight weakness of strike described above.
