1922. Obverse image(s) are of actual coin selected for purchase. No mint mark. Exact reverse images inc. in product gallery.
A third ray of light extending over the eagle’s wing can be seen at the top of the “N” in “ONE” on this coin, indicating a high strike. Bearing no mint mark, it was struck in Philadelphia. 1921 high-relief coins were first made on December 28 and weren’t released into circulation until January 3, 1922; there wasn’t time to finalize low-relief sculpting needed to keep 1921 high-relief dies from breaking. Although no proof coins were made, it’s likely this exact coin was struck to prove modified 1921 dies after they were decommissioned on January 10 and with-held from use at the Denver and San Francisco mints. This 1922 Peace Dollar isn’t a matte proof.
