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.

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

Looks like the 1804 was taken down.

Still no bids on the 1922.

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.

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.
