<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7575385, member: 105098&quot;]Hmmmm, I&#039;m gonna say no, and there&#039;s maybe 20 total examples out there in regular or high relief maximum,&nbsp; regardless of the finishes all struck by or for Chief Engraver George T. Morgan,. and all very much accounted for, the Norweb collection had a couple for example. This wouldn&#039;t be the place to really test the waters for it though, you&#039;d need expert information on them, like Walter Breen, who&#039;s seen a lot of them and cataloged die markers and all that jazz of the examples he&#039;s seen. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean you are quite literally showing up to a petstore, looking for a great white shark, and the aquarium doesn&#039;t have one of those either so why would the pet store? </p><p><br /></p><p>None of us would have seen one before or really know the die markers and finishes, unless someone of us would have spent the time to extensively researched each and every one, or followed and read the research of someone that has. this is a very specialized niche of collector with BIG bucks. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, in summation, I doubt anyone here could authenticate it as a 1922 regular relief proof peace dollar, even if your pictures were better and more thorough, BUT I&#039;m 99.9% sure, the fact that you are here and not hitting the books on it and trying to contact the experts in this particular field suggests it&#039;s not one and wishful thinking at best. </p><p><br /></p><p>if it&#039;s too good to be true, it probably is. it&#039;s a $100K + coin. there&#039;s maybe 10 in existence and that&#039;s only if they all were slabbed and accounted for at once (possibilities exist that the population numbers are high from resubmissions of the same coin for crossovers). even a details/genuine one goes for $30K minimum. </p><p><br /></p><p>the chance that&#039;s one,,,, it&#039;s worse than you getting struck by lightening every day for the next year, which is more likely to happen. </p><p>I don&#039;t expect to ever see a real one and if I did I wouldn&#039;t begin to know how to authenticate it and verify it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
