Anyone have a 1922 high relief Peace Dollar?

I owned a gem matte proof back in the 80's when it was probably 30K or so. I'd love to have it back, but it's the other one I can't get over. In the late 70's, I bought a high relief (or possibly medium relief) 22, not necessarily a matte proof, that had been put into a money clip or belt buckle and polished. It was obviously what it was, but nobody I showed it to really grasped what they were looking at. They all shrugged their shoulders, sort of. So I sold it for 50 or 100 bucks and moved on. It's one of the few coins that haunts me.

I was accused of "stealing" a whole roll of them from a little old lady that came into the shop for something like $12 a coin. The accusation came from her idiot lawyer after she had seller remorse 2 weeks after she sold us a bunch of junk silver. (the roll in actuality was a mixed au-bu roll of 1922 Peace Dollars)

Andy,
So there is possibly a 2nd medium relief 1922 Peace dollar floating around? Documents suggest 3 pieces were sent to Washington: 1 ea, sandblast and satin (from the medal press) and the 3,200th piece – last one made on a production press. Only one is known right now (the 2001 piece authenticated by NGC and verified in my 1916-21 book research).

Personally, Morgan’s 1922 HR version was probably the best concept of the design to have been struck. Neither deFrancisci’s original 1921 nor the 1922 LR have the detail and sharpness necessary for a really good looking coin. (True, Jim Fraser had a lot to do with how the coin finally looked…)

I'd say it's likely.

Guess I'd better check all the money clips and belt buckles I come across.
