I came across this 1922 S Peace Dollar. Normally I am not into the series but since I am into errors it caught my attention.

Please take a look at the pic. There is a ring going around the perimete of the coin, it is raised, but I am not sure what it is.

Any ideas?

That is interesting but I will defer to those who actually know what they are talking about.

Die pressure set too high. Operator was trying to get the details onto the coin and turned it up. Common on 22-s due to week strikes and shortened die life. Not really a premium in her..

peaceman thanks. I had not seen this before. I think I will keep it as a reference piece. thanks again!

I would say low pressure strike rather than high pressure. The die seems well worn, and they may have been trying to make it last a bit longer.
