that is the way they were minted, with the V

Thought you had a real valuable coin? many people do that.

Hummerzdad

I actually thought it was a fake and not worth anything. But my better half said that it was real and that we should keep it! LOL Thanks for the information. Were they also gold plated or was that done after the fact?

jbsteven

if it is truly gold plated then yes it was done outside the mint. if it is gold colored and not shiney then it is toning.

You have a 1922 Peace dollar. If it's gold plated then the numismatic value is actually reduced. It's probably good that it's a common date/coin and not really worth much in circulated condition.

You have a Peace Dollar...It was plated after it was minted. You can get an overview of the worth of these coins by going to the Daily Price Guide Link on the PCGS webpage. Im sure someone somewhere collects gold plated silver dollars, but I wouldn't know how to help you there.

Good luck, and Welcome to the board!

Hummerzdad

Its definately shiney and one small area on the edge has worn off. Must be real plating.. again thank you for the information!

Yep, the designer used a more roman style of lettering in the motto. If the coin is a uniform gold color, then it is definitely plated. Still, it's fun to have a piece of history around!

Ok, so at the risk of being rude, was there a point to the Bebop persons post, or was she simply padding her post number???

Hummerzdad

Welcome to the board. As you already know, the chiseled "V" is the design. But, that question is very very common.

Hummerzdad

Thank you MadMonk...... I had no idea that coin collection was so popular... WOW a great deal of knowledge on this board and you all should consider yourself very fortunate to be apart of something so very special!

Thanks again everyone

If my memory serves me right I read somewhere that they used the letter "v" instead of the letter "u" in trust to signify the victory of World War One. I too want to welcome you to the forums. Like you have already found out there are mounds of knowledge that you can learn here.

That explaination does get repeated a lot buy it isn't true. If fact I am fairly sure the "V for Victory" symbolism does not really pre-date World War II. At least not in common usage.

That's right, V for victory is not correct. I hear it on the TV shopping channels a lot. The roman style (alphabet) has no letter U. V is used for both U and V sounds. That's why it's TRVST.
