<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 269579, member: 1242"]I recently posted links to the pics of this coin in the posting"Trivia: 1922 Proof Peace Dollars" but decided to create this Thread to get some opinions and feedback from the Coin Talk folks about the coin! The coin is a 1922-P Peace Dollar which I have owned for about three years, that has a Satin type Finish and I believe accidentally went through the same acid bath as the 1922 "Low Relief" Proof Peace Dollars or that there is a slim possibility that it is an actual "Low Relief" Proof. I was told by a a few so-called Coin Experts, that the coin had been cleaned with a harsh cleanser and that cleanser, is what caused the satin finish look. As you can see from the pics, the coin has not been cleaned and especially has not been cleaned with any harsh cleanser. Although not evident from the pics, you can view the coin with a gem loupe and see Mint luster showing underneath the satin finish (dullness) which is exactly the same as can be seen on the actual Satin Proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, let me know what you all think! Should I send it off to PCGS or NGC to see if I actually hit the jackpot or not? I purchased the coin from a Coin Dealer, friend of mine who purchased it along with about 39 other Peace Dollars in a bag from a Coin Dealer at the Baltimore Coin Show. The Coin Dealer at the Baltimore Coin Show advised my friend, that the coins came out of an old Philadelphia Estate.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar1.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar2.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc37/huntsman53/1922PeaceDollar2.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
