    Photos not clear enough to know for sure, but the 1921 looks like High Relief and I don't see anything suspicious about the 1922.

    the 1922 looks like it's in an ngc holder...go with what the holder says

    the 1921
    way to small an image to tell much from

  • Unfortunately i have no clue yet how to upload higher resolution images here..but thankyou anyway ,..i don't want to burn to buying them

    better images there

    both are what we call problem coins here
    the 22' isn't worth much more then "melt"

    the 21
    looks cleaned and polished...huge deduction in value for that

    are you considering buying these?
    if so
    pass...save your money

    The 1921 looks genuine and lower end of the circulated spectrum - Very Good to Fine.
    The 1922 is not encapsulated, rather just mounted in the insert from a late generation NGC holder, and quite frankly looks to be damaged by corrosion.

    I like the 1921. The 1922 is not as attractive with that spotted toning---hopefully it looks better in hand.

    1922 definitely has some problems. 1921 is in a low enough grade it isn't worth much either.

    A 1921 Peace Dollar in VG isn't worth much? Since when? I thought it was a $60+ coin.

    Don't feel bad, that comment had me searching because I thought I missed the memo too.

    The last 2 certified ones on eBay went for (NGC VG10 - $71.24) and (PCGS VG10 - $110)
    Seems the raw ones are anywhere from $50-$80.

    Spend a little more, get a real silver dollar. I would pass on these, they look fake-ish.

    Agree especially the 1921, and the 1922 looks like it been in the ground.

    Note how thick the 1's are on the obverse as one tell.

    Welcome to the forum! I think posting the coins here before buying them was smart.
