Even common date circulated silver dollars are worth a small premium above spot over other common circulated silver 90% coins. I can't tell from your images but it looks like there are signs of mint luster showing in STATES on reverse. But the rest of your coin looks a bit polished or cleaned. It might be and then maybe not. I can't tell. If it is a straight AU grade 1922 phila minted Peace dollar, it is worth a little more than 4 common silver AU Wash quarters, or 2 AU 1964 Kennedy halves, or 10 AU common date Roosevelt dimes. There are varieties too, even for common dates Silver Dollars called VAMs of which I know nothing more about except that can raise the values, sometimes considerably.

Does the 2 in 1922 look like doubling?

A common date Peace dollar that has been polished. And the mark you have in red are the designers initials - Anthony de Francisci

And the crooked ray is a clash mark. The 2 is Strike Doubling. Often found on 22-23 Peace $.

Despite polishing problems, and interesting minor features, worth keeping anyway; it's 90 % silver, where almost all of it value is.

I thought it looked polished. A polished coin might look nice and shiny to non coin collectors but it becomes damaged and ungradable. If it is, it lost a lot of it's numismatic value if not all. Being the common 1922, it lost almost all added collectible value. This Peace dollar is probably worth about $20 but not more than $24 in my opinion today with the little spike in spot silver. ($24.45 as I write) Two polished Kennedy halves or common Franklins ( Same amount of silver as the Peace dollar ) would probably be worth $16 to $17 for the pair if you could get someone to buy them. Bullion people prefer a Silver Dollar over a total of $1.00 in silver coin, simply for it's silver content and convenient bullion trader size. I would rather have a 1922 Peace dollar in honest worn VF circulated condition than a polished or harshly cleaned one. If this were a key date, like the 1921 or 1928 it would have considerably more value than a 1922, even polished or cleaned, but on the other hand, it also would have lost a huge amount of it's value because it had been shined up. It would make some of us cry too.  Rule is, don't clean or polish coins. Not that you did it, but it is money down the drain. It doesn't look like there is any variety here that would add value either by the views and comments. I would not know, but there are experts here who would.

John1, I never knew that website existed. Holy Cow! Thanks. I guess I should look at my silver dollars a little more closely. Bookmarked.

Hey Caddy1952, the mintmark would be on the reverse below the word one. By the looks of it, it would be minted at Philadelphia ( no mint mark). A D would be Denver, and S for San Francisco. On your set of three pictures, that little marking above the date is actually the designers initials for Anthony de Francisci as an AF monogram. That should help some.
