My question is this, is there any information out there that gives at least an estimate of how many 1922 Peace dollars were minted with the B-1 reverse?

I dont know if anyone would be able to tell you that exact number with certainty. But kudos for informing me about yet another rairty hiding in plain sight. I found an article talking about them stating atleast hundreds of thousands were made before they went into circulation and the dies changed.


"The final two coins, both graded MS-67 by PCGS, are from the initial large-scale trial run from dies prepared with the new low relief hubs for 1922. At least hundreds of thousands of these coins were struck before these samples were sent to the mint director for his examination and approval. Approval was given, and on February 14th, 1922 direction was given for the trial coins to be circulated. The hubs in use at Philadelphia were changed, however, and early hub style coins are much rarer than those of the second hub style. This gives collectors a new piece to search for, and will likely result in a change to the Guide Book listings for the 1922 Peace dollar to reflect the difference between these dies. The easiest way to determine the difference is in the connection of the olive branch on the reverse to the eagle's talon. The early hub style coins have the branch disconnected, while on the the later style it is connected. As far as we are aware, this is the first public offering of such pieces with proper identification and description. Since the coins from the trial were circulated, the two fabulous Superb Gem specimens in our present sale are quite possibly the finest known survivors, and adding their provenance to Mint Director Baker himself makes their offering historic."

My guess is they are definately worth searching for. Enough minted to be able to find yet few enough they will draw a premium a perfect sleeper coin.

I have two of them. One being the VAM 1-A Line in the Tiara version. Almost makes me think it possibly might be a mule. A 1921 reverse on a 1922 coin. Although not likely as they didn't start producing the 1921 Peace dollar until the later part of December 1921.

Both B1 and B2 reverse design for 1922 Peace dollar is pretty common.
If you are looking for true rarity , try finding 1922 proof, that is a 1922 with 1921 design (high relief).
