High relief 1922 and medium relief 1922 are both pattern/experimental pieces and never intentionally introduced into circulation. See A Guide Book for Peace Dollars for details and illustrations.
I have complete sets of Morgan and Peace dollars and have a zero tolerance for any toning. When I think of mint state (MS) coins, I think of them like when they were when originally minted. They weren't minted with any toning. Just like wear, toning degrades a coin, IMO. When considering the "eye appeal" factor, I just don't understand how any grading service can ever give a toned coin a MS number. Yes, I know there are other criteria in grading a coin, like - strike, preservation, luster, color, and attractiveness. I guess that's why they say things like, eye appeal is the most subjective component of the grading system and/or beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Of course I never developed a taste for wine or abstract art either.

I especially like the well struck look of these coins with the 'jawbreaker cheek' look !
