Description
A circulated 1922 Peace Silver Dollar. Features the profile of Liberty on the obverse and a perched eagle on the reverse. This particular coin shows the heavy wear typical of a 100-year-old coin that has spent time in circulation, with softened details in Lady Liberty's hair and the crown peaks.
Key Features
High silver content (90%), historical significance as a post-WWI peace commemorative, very high demand for 'junk silver' and numismatic stacking.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Peace' design strike; 1922 is the highest mintage year making fakes less common than 1921 or 1928; weight should be 26.73g. No apparent 'copy' stamps.
Flaws to Note
Significant bag marks and surface scratches; rim dings at the bottom edge; heavy wear on the high points of the design; not uncirculated or 'MS' quality.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest reach), local coin shops (fastest cash), or r/Pmsforsale on Reddit for best price-to-fee ratio.
Selling Tips
DO NOT CLEAN THE COIN. Even light scrubbing ruins numismatic value. Use high-resolution macro photos of both sides. Keywords: 90% Silver, Peace Dollar, 1922, US Mint, Numismatic.
