Is this because of a new die design, or did the original die break during production?

By the time they decided that the original High Relief design - same as the 1921's - was not appropriate for mass production, the first few 1922's had been struck. So, they melted (almost) all of them and switched to the easier low-relief. Keep in mind, the production pressure was intense. The Pittman Act, which had caused the melting of 270 million Morgan dollars, also mandated their replacement down the road since the US had to withdraw from circulation an equivalent value in Silver Certificates which lost their backing due to the melt. So the Mint was forced to produce Dollars by the bazillion. High Relief Peace dollars were difficult and time-consuming to mint, did not stack well, and it was obvious that the required production volume was impossible using the design. 1922-P Peace dollars were the single-highest mintage of any US Silver Dollar at over 50 million, which wouldn't have been remotely possible with the High Relief design. |

Thank you that was very informative. Now at the risk of going off topic, I'm going to the Superbowl/birthday party for my son. Have a good afternoon.

Dear whiteman2,
Are you sure that you are looking at my item? There is nothing in my listing saying MS anything.

I tried to send the following "question" to the "seller" without success. Could he have blocked me? If so, will one of you copy the message and send it with the following: "YOU CANNOT BLOCK US ALL!" --------------------------- Several of us have asked you questions and you do not offer them to the public. That suggests that you are hiding something. While I will not contact ebay with a complaint, I have proof that you originally posted the offer with an MS grade. Should the members of our group choose to pursue this matter further, I have made the proof known to the membership, A $5 coin at best? Hmmm. We all know about the 1922 "High Relief". I cut you slack initially. Sorry now that I did. Edited by matthewvincent

I just got through. Needed a title.
Honest sellers welcome corrections.
Dishonest sellers do not.
I did not mention the CCF. Let the seller wonder who we are!
"We are your WORST nightmare!"

Not wrath, my dear noah. RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION! This morning I was greeted with this polite response: Dear studmv, The listing was actually listed as MS++ which is not a grade. It has since then been removed. My item is in exceptional condition though my pics can not verify. I have not violated ebay policy in any way. Furthermore, there is a return policy. Thank you for your interest. - familyprof6 Original Message: Message Preview Sent to the "seller:" Several of us have asked you questions and you do not offer them to the public.
