I saw this yesterday and picked it up just to post here. This is an intresting Peace dollar with one of the worse strikes I have seen.

The coin looks or is near MS, and actually has cartwheel luster in the areas that recieved the full metal flow. But the detail in the center is extremely flat, actually its caved in like a crater. Limited metal flow into the deepest recess of the die?

any comments, please post for educational purposes?

    Man, if the reverse didn't say otherwise, I was going to call that wear. That is a weird one.

    What year is that peace- is it 1922? I've never seen one that looks like that. Perhaps someone forgot to replace an obverse die, but had changed the reverse die?

    Jim, that's a wierd one. Was it struck through grease or ground flat?

    Don,

    I am not sure. It was so strange, I bought it just to post on the board to see if any one would comment about it?


    It is a 1922
