I am not familiary with the Peace Dollaer series. I have a couple of common date AU plus examples that I acquired as a kid, none of which are note worthy. However, yesterday I was at a jewelry store/pawn shop and saw a toned 1922-P dollar. Picked it up for a few dollars. The toning is uniform on both sides. It has light brown color interspersed with whisps of blue, green and yellow. It definitely has positive eye appeal.
The coins also has rims that seem to be high. The slope from the inner edge of the rims down to the fields is very pronounced and knife like in some areas and is more gentle in others. Also the some of the letters and numbers [the 1 in 1922, the LI...TY in Liberty and the IN...ST in In God We Trust on the obverse; and the UNITED........MERICA of United States Of America, the PL of Pluribus and the O of One on the reverse are very weak and do not rise above the level of the fields. I am curious about what this phenomena is [weak strike or worn die, since the coin is not worn out, again AU plus]. Is it common for Peace dollars to have weakness in the lettering?
