Question about the 1922 High Relief Peace dollar

I am not sure how to post a picture. But I have a 1922 , I am pretty sure is a High Relief Peace dollar or Matte finish... I read one exists... it has a different finish. Than any other silver peace or otherwise types. It's trying to tone darker and the spikes near the E in Liberty seem to match markers.

I am curious as to why you think this is a proof Peace Dollar? Where did it come from?
It was the one my grandfather said was different... and it has a different finish from any of the hundreds i have... if you could see it in hand... you would instantly see the difference.
In my opinion, it is a regular business strike. According to https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/3305/dollars/peace/1922-P/high-relief/ the rays and letters are not nearly as wide as what a high relief 1922 peace dollar should look like. If it’s a low relief matte proof, I do not know.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.
I believe better pictures will be required for members to provide a more accurate assessment. It does not appear to be a high relief coin... as to the surface, well, just cannot tell in those pictures. Cheers, RickO
Agree with Ricko.....weren't these all 'Zerbe Proofs' that wound up with a few major dealers at the time? Not to say one couldn't have been spent during the Great Depression, etc., but seems pretty unlikely.
Tuition. Current submission of a Morgan for authenticating & grading may come back PR 55. (I hope higher and not MS or counterfeit or worse... with no grade) Maybe - maybe not.
One way to say: " I had to PAY. " I could have asked you guys first, but .... Well , I probably should have.
I only have one thing to add: DIY is still costly. That's why I hire professionals.
As to your question and points; pack it up and submit it.
ANACS , NGC , here@home ....Or ?
Interesting, it doesn't look like a high relief coin, but I can't make a judgement on the surface or the finish from those pictures. I wish you luck.
It is nearly impossible to tell if the surface of the coin is different from these photos, but the coin does not look like it is struck in high relief to me.

Since these Proofs were struck with the same design as the business strike coins, it would be hard to tell about this coin from the photos provided. My gut tells me this is not a High Relief Matte Proof because the centers do look to be detailed enough, but that migh not be the final answer.
Based on the photos, the coin is a normal 1922 low relief dollar. It has no characteristics of a 1922 High Relief piece, or a satin/sandblast proof made on a medal press.
I get a similar question about once every month - no, it does not coincide with the full moon.
