1922 S Double Date Peace Dollar?

MisterTicToc · October 1, 2008 6:50AM

While sorting through a number of silver dollars last night I came across this unusual coin. I had to look twice (no pun intended). Any input as to what I have here? Sorry about the piece of lint on the "2".

Nice example of ejection doubling

looks like what I have, not worth much from what I am told.

Machine Doubling more common on the 22-P... would like to see full obverse/reverse pics as the back of the neck on Ms. Liberty looks doubled too.

I have a picture of the obv...the back of the neck is doubled as well although a bit tough to tell in the picture. I will see if I can get some better pics. I have never seen such extreme doubling. Perhaps it has to do with the relative size of the coin involved.

I wish I could understand how a solid die can slip in one part but a few centimeters over does not. Can the metal of a die flex that much?

No.
The coin dragging across the dies while ejecting causes it.

<< <i>I wish I could understand how a solid die can slip in one part but a few centimeters over does not. Can the metal of a die flex that much? >>

No again but I would expect that the planchets do. Remember that you're talking about hundreds of tons of pressure on a hot metal planchet. The striking process alone produces its own heat so if anything is loose then there is going to be vibrations and movement. All very slight and all very small but enough to cause this type of damage.
