<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DoubleDie, post: 398018, member: 10132&quot;]The coin is not a proof. The dies where special made for 1922 High Relief proofs and has differences in detail than a business strike 1922. Here are a few clues, look at the beak. It&#039;s not open and doesn&#039;t have a long of a crease as the proof, then look at the olive branch, it&#039;s connected to the eagle, but there&#039;s a space on a proof. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also we can rule out high relief proof because your coin is not. And your coin has been circulated. Look at the wing feathers on the reverse. In my opinion, based in the facts I know, this 1922 might be oxidized due to the environment it was stored in. An oxidized coin will look soft and dull in luster, or the coin could have been over-dipped and this etched the surface thus removing some of the original metal surface.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only other thing to point out is the pics don&#039;t show the true nature of the coin&#039;s surface. Good luck when you send off. I wish it where a 1922 proof for your sake, but I&#039;m sure such is not the case. Another thing, the coin is scratched and only ANACS would detail grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
