    I'm not seeing it. Where? Thanks.

    To the OP, can you post images of the entire obverse and reverse?

    The images look distorted and are throwing me off, but my guess is that the coin is (messed up a bit, but) genuine.

    What concerned me is the extra ray similar to 1921 Peace dollars?
  • Just a hit is my guess.....

    Looks like a fake. The 1 has no top serif and a blop of metal instead, the 9 looks too open, the lower curve in the 2 is funky, and the 4 is too thin. The Mint mark looks like a backward Z instead of an S.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Looks fine to me...Just a weird image of a circulated Peace....

    The reverse legends look unusually well struck. Is that a sign of anything? There is something odd about this piece but i cannot put my finger on it. Is the placing of the mm kosher?

    Could be a 1935 S except this coin is a 1924.
    A lot of things look strange to me on it. The foothills are way off.

    Obvious fake. Look at the S mintmark for proof.

    It does not look like my 1924 S peace dollar. What struck me is how the rays seem to fade out completely close to the eagle; close to liberty's head. The '2' in 1924 looks wonky. No like.

    And not only is the mint mark strange, but there is a ray pointing at the mint mark which I don't see on the one in my dansco.
