The coin has also turned a coffee brown and looks like a satin finish type coin but I really don't know much about these except for what I found online which is very little. Lots of info on the 1921 coins but not much on the 1922-D. I have owned 25+ of these coins and seen images of hundreds and this one by far, is the most unusual, in the strike and coffee brown appearance. Thanks in advance for any constructive comments.

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 11:28 am Hard to give an opinion without images. While you work on getting images, if you have a magnet around...see if it sticks to the coin. In my travels some of the brown silver dollars I have come across are brown due to rust, being that they are fake and make of steel. A small chance, but it is there. Look forward to seeing images and thanks for posting...Happy Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Thanksanukkah, Thanksgivikah or whatever you are celebrating! :-) Guess I posted too fast.... from the images I say low relief Edited by unholyroller 11/28/2013 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

It's not possible for one to have a Denver mint mark. Yours is a nicely-struck coin, but by definition Low Relief. There are other clear differentiating details, even more easily seen than unholyroller's (correct) images, but they're not necessary here. Report this Post to the Staff
RUSH2112 New Member Canada 49 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 11:58 am Thanks for all the good information so far. But is there a 1922-D defined as the "low relief" variety? I ask because while researching, I saw a coin being offered for sale by a major coin dealer, as the "low relief" variety. Or is there only one 1922-D Peace dollar with some being better struck than others. Report this Post to the Staff

That was just a redundant statement on the dealer's part. The inherent implication that a 1922-D which isn't Low Relief exists, is untrue. The fact that he mentioned it doesn't recommend him well.

Regardless fthe fact there never was a high relief Denver 1922 Peace dollar, I thought the visual would be helpful in explaining the cosmetic differences. Report this Post to the Staff
