    You should post this ATS where RWB could comment on it. He might know.

    That peace dollar has been shrunk (by, "magnetic force"). I have a Kennedy half in a PCI slab with the same results (it's a bit larger than a quarter).

    Google, Magnetic force coin for a more detailed explanation.

    The auction itself also describes the process.

    That IS neat. Makes me think of Professor Julius Sumner Miller ("and physics is my game!"). His videos on PBS and now YouTube always make me smile - his experiences are fabulous and rarely go as planned. I had a science teacher just like him.
    Always wondered. So the whole thing "shrinks" in proportion to itself. It is denser or am I not understanding this?

    so it was done OUTSIDE the mint..?

    i just thought it was some kind of a mint error - the word "struck" threw me off.. and the fact that it is slabbed by a TPG

    why did they slab it with a straight grade?

    I think you are using the term TPG rather loosely here.
    There are three top tier grading companies and this is not one of them.

    There are just two top tier grading companies.

    There is a website that sells these.

    They have had a strong electric current
    run thru the coin, which does this to them.

    Inflation does the same thing to our money supply (coins/paper) and w/o the high cost of electricity to shrink it.

    I remember reading about the process. It makes the coin smaller in diameter but thicker. Actual weight and density are not changed.

    Neat kind of post-mint damage, but slabbing these? It would be the same as slabbing a coin flattened by a train (just the opposite result).

    There's prolly enough '22 Peace dollars around that this won't have too noticeable of an affect on the pop . . .
