1922 satin low relief peace dollar

When I spin the coin for the cartwheel luster effect it is interrupted by zig zag pattern lines of reflection instead of the cartwheel luster effect. There are thousands of tiny dots on the coin, it appears to be minted into the metal.

Didn't know that 22 had a satin variety. You learn something new every day

 

Normal

 

Thats just a normal 1922 that sells for 16-18 bucks.

 

In better light

 

Normal.
Here is a link to a thread that discusses the difference between the 2. Post #4 in the thread

you can tell the difference by the spikes. Use SEARCH often, a lot of good stuff there.

What are all of those tiny dots doing there?

 

Low relief

 

Not high relief

 

It's basically melt value. The most is $20.
It looks too white, I think it was cleaned at some point.
It's not a rare coin. Low relief means nothing, they are all low relief,
except for the 1921 high relief. I don't think there's a satin finish.

 

yep there is nothing special about this silver dollar. Please stop thinking your hit some sort of jackpot.

 

Take a look at these radial lines, they stem outward in a zig zag fashion.

 

Can I post a video?

 

Forgive me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t a regular peace dollar blind you with a flash on? And what’s up with all the fine little dots?

 

Sure, but it's unlikely to make a difference.

See the toolbar up above the area where you type your message? One of the icons is for "Media". Click on that, and it'll let you insert a video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or a few other sites. You can't upload a video file directly to CoinTalk as far as I know.

The "zig-zag lines" are just the way luster looks on Peace dollars -- it's very different from Morgans. The "tiny dots" are hits, places where something has made a small dent in the coin's surface during circulation or bag-handling. I see signs of wear on your coin, so I'm guessing the former.

 

The last satin finish low relief peace dollar went for around 50 k

 

In the other thread it appears the low relief satin finish is on a proof coin.
Your coin is not a proof. Yours seems to be a circulated business strike and unnaturally white.

 

Meow has heard about Chinese counterfeit peace dollars. Could this be one of them?

 

I have a 1922 similar to yours that came back from PCGS as "Altered Surf. - UNC Details". Basically not gradable.

By the way, have you ever considered using some hand lotion?
