How can I tell If I have a matte finish coin or a bad cleaning job?
I really think it is a matte 1922 Peace dollar.

Cleaned coins will look lifeless and washed out, too white.

Try this link for a comparison;

"Proofs: estimated 10

The finest Matte Proof 1922 Peace dollars graded by PCGS are 2 PR-66s.

Matte Proofs have a dull texture caused by etching of the coin's surfaces. The Matte texture has been found on both High Relief and Low Relief 1922 Peace dollars.

Satin Proofs have a brilliant texture unlike that seen on examples made for circulation. The Satin finish is found only on Low Relief 1922 Peace dollars."

Sharp pix would be a good start.
