<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1397994, member: 15199&quot;]According to Breen&#039;s encyclopedia, over 44 million business strikes were made of Breen 5704. Zerbe raised a fuss as he was a promoter of the Peace Dollar for 1921 and had much influence. To keep his good favor, the mint made ( usually somewhat poorly) proofs for his distribution. When Chapman,&nbsp; an important Coin Dealer, heard of this he went to the designer Morgan and purchased 10 special made &quot;Chapman proofs&quot; ( Breen 5705)for face value ( ahh, the good old days of the mint.....special coins for special people).</p><p><br /></p><p>So yours is a 5704 due to the Extra berry, but looks no where near a proof, so it must be one of the 44 million business strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
