<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 14604, member: 1242&quot;]Jeff,</p><p><br /></p><p>From looking at the one picture of the coin, it appears to be either a Matte Proof or a Satin Proof! A Matte Proof does not have the Mint Luster of a normal Business Strike and actually has the appearance that you would see on a sandblasted piece of steel or aluminum or grainy and greyish in color. I think the Satin Proof is very similar but less grany and a lighter greyish in color. In the High Relief, the ray running Northwest through the &quot;N&quot; of the word &quot;ONE&quot; on the Reverse extends approximately 3cm above the top of the &quot;N&quot; while in the Low Relief, it barely extends above the top of the &quot;N&quot;. I am sure that there are other ways to tell them apart but I am not familiar with any of these!</p><p><br /></p><p>You can go to the following Website to see pictures of both in High Relief and Low Relief:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/catalogarchive/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/catalogarchive/" rel="nofollow">www.goldbergcoins.net/catalogarchive/</a> 20040124/chap0073.shtml</p><p><br /></p><p>I just found a 1922 Low Relief Matte Proof Peace Silver Dollar in a plastic freezer bag with about 50 more Peace Dollars inside that a Coin Dealer has and is selling individually! The bag of Peace Silver Dollars were purchased out of State from another Coin Dealer and I will not devulge what I paid for it for fear that it would make you cry! Surprisingly, the coin only suffered a couple of indentations and a small rim ding and probably will grade out to a nice Proof 61 to Proof 63. The coin has already been sent to Bowers &amp; Merena and will probably show up in a Auction in the fall.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>huntsman53[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
