1922 Peace Dollar. Wow! Now In My 7070

MS-62, lots of small field marks and spotting from past dipping.

WOW that's a stunner! MS-62 Past cleaning.
Man, I really have to get a 7070!

Her lips are not parted like all the other ones I have seen.

MS-62

Standout luster for a Peace dollar. Excellent strike (at least the obverse) as evidenced by the lack of flattening of the letters near the rim. The center isn't that strong, though, making me wonder if it's a really early die state and they overbasined the die expecting it to collapse somewhat during its' life, or if they simply just overdid it. The images are, of course, too small for firm opinion but I'm having a hard time imagining it as other than Mint State. The vertical striations through lower cheek and neck might be capable of changing my opinon, but at the moment I'm thinking MS63 is the floor for this one.

The white spots are - to me - an artifact of the Mint prep routine, akin to the milkspotting on current Moderns. I've seen it often before.

Now for the fun part.

The beveling on the lower obverse rim stood out to me, making me look at the other side of the reverse rim (which is how these things usually reveal themselves). And there, on the lower part of the reverse rim, you'll see a really clear collar clash. It's not the most common thing on a Peace dollar, and although it won't make you rich, it certainly makes this a far more interesting example than you might have thought otherwise. I've taken the initiative to reach out to someone who knows a bunch more about these than I, in the hopes of coming up with a confirmed attribution for this one. If you're going to ask opinions of your coin, you might as well get the most complete opinion possible.

Clash is nice, so is the luster. Peace dollars like this are almost impossible to grade from a photo, I'd need to have in hand under a lamp to see if there is any rub or wear on the high points, could go high AU or MS62/63 to my eye from the photo.

I do not see that die marker on my coin
