His Peace looks like it has mold... Also he's TOUCHING THE COINS WITH HIS BARE HANDS.  At least they're fake. Edited by coinlover168

Looks like an old aluminum frying pan. I wonder how much it weighs.
The freelance lettering is great. The forger ran out of room for the E in WE and squished it in. He/she must have spent a lot of time making that reeding too.
It's a charming piece of tramp art. Undervalued at 99 cents. Just needs the right buyer.
The same frying pan must have been used to make the 1804. Plenty of bidders on that one.

You're definitly right about the date. I have several 1922's and they are all like your slab.

Hi Scopru,
The 1804 dollar has just 15 known to exist ( 8 Class I, 1 Class II, and 6 Class III).....according to PCGS Coinfacts, and seeing as how they are worth between $2.5-8.5 MILLION each, those facts alone will tell you that it's fake. Plus, Just about all the known existing examples have a provenance attached to them.

Looks like the seller has removed the photo of the reeding.

Why would anyone want to forge a 1922 Peace dollar? They're a dime a dozen. If I were in the forging business, I'd be making 1895 Morgans! |

Because 1922 dollars ARE very common, they cost vey little to make and no one pays attention to them so you can make and sell thousands of them. Make an 1895 Morgan and it is going to be very carefully scrutinized and almost instantly be revealed making sales very difficult. You would most likely make more money making fake 1922's. Make 22's sell thousands, make 95's sell one or two. |

thq Pillar of the Community "The freelance lettering is great. The forger ran out of room for the E in WE and squished it in." Actually, he didn't. I downloaded the photos of the slabbed 1922 here and the 1922 on ebay and did an overlay. The lettering matches up perfectly on both, no freelance squishing of an "E" anywhere. The kerning on the fake-looking dollar is actually absolutely identical to the slabbed 1922. What makes the space look too small for the lettering is the shadow on the front of the neck. |
