<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2688591, member: 69760&quot;]Is this a 1922-P Peace Dollar from a medium relief die? The obverse doesn&#039;t match the medium relief die seen on the NGC coin details page. Specifically, the spike of the tiara on mine extends past the bottom of the &quot;E&quot; in &quot;LIBERTY&quot;, as opposed to stopping at the bottom of the &quot;E&quot; like on the known example.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, looking at the reverse, the talons of the eagle have very clear features, the &quot;PEACE&quot; and &quot;ONE DOLLAR&quot; have much stronger strikes than on most or all low relief examples I&#039;ve seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s as if a low relief die was used for the obverse, but a medium relief reverse die was recycled (intentionally or inadvertently) and used for the business strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that said, I see some sort of corrosion or environmental damage on the surface of the coin. The &quot;O&quot; in &quot;ONE&quot; from the reverse also looks to be heavily doubled or exhibit extreme die deterioration doubling. Or, are all of these traits conducive to a fake coin? Or, could this be one of those trial die coins that were released into circulation?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin weighs 26.6g (vs. 26.73g as reported by the US Mint) and it&#039;s not magnetic (I checked with a neodymium magnet). Standard coin alignment. Cartwheel luster on both sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100103_zpsavltkcm1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100104_zpsjabpkwlf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100105_zpskqmwdztj.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100106_zpscivmhh99.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1100108_zpsarhbwsg8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
