The high relief design of the 1921 Peace dollar wears differently than all other years having the low relief.

Just what I was thinking, Andy. Of course, with only 1 circulated 1922 High Relief known, I'm guessing PCGS would slab it as a 1921.

If this is the case, I may have this one or there's 2 or more circulating! Its in an ANACS FR02 slab stating its a 1921, I've shown quite a few dealers and all believe it could very well be a '22 as the last digit to the date has a curve of a '2'! The next big coin show I go to, I plan to bring it and have it further evaluated.

Someone posted one one here that looked like a 1922 high relief this year. It was quite worn. I do recall making the observation of that possibility in passing.

I like this e-bay seller...no hype!

<< <i>Will PCGS slab a coin like this without a date but which can be identified but other features? >>
I don't think so. PCGS grading standards say: PO1 Indetifiable date and type. The bottom of the reverse looks like what's left over from the bottom of the Eagles left leg where the feathers stop...the hook part...and the other marks being rays.

I think I remember seeing a low grade Chain cent in a PCGS slab without a date but I may be mistaken.

Yes, PCGS will holder any slabbable coin that is uniquely identifiable, even if it does not have a date.

I'll post a digital picture sometime after 12/11, going to Europe tomorrow, and the coin is in the SDB right now. I do have a bad scan of it, you can get a general idea of the coin at least. Maybe someone can do something with it to make it look better, or show more detail.
<< <i>PCGS grading standards say: PO1 Indetifiable date and type. >>
You can identify date and type for some coins without being able to read the date. This coin is the perfect example. I would expect PCGS to slab it provided that it doesn't have any damage that can't be seen in the images.

AW?........Artificial wear?10- 20 X bid for a worn Peace.Wheres these bidders when I try to

was this a joke? plz tell me that the coin didn't bring over 191 screws. if true, that seller is the world's best used car salesperson. a real conversation piece. DUMMY for the person who bought it.

Honestly, its one heck of a lot easier to make a 1921 in PO01 than it is to make ANY mint marked Peace $1 in PO01. Don't believe me? Check out how close to the rim the MM is on a Peace $1 and now wear down the rim - OOPS, no more mint mark. THe PCGS grading Guide basically says that below a FR02 grade, the mint mark wears away making the coin indeterminate (ie, PO01 Peace $1's with MM are like crows teeth). In 2 years of trying, I've made a 1934-S in PO01 and purchased a 1923-S in PO01.......pretty slim pickings indeed given I've made probably a dozen P mint PO01's.
