<p>[QUOTE="Windi, post: 2927534, member: 91450"]I have read many articles and have read a lot of discussion and the particular 1922 high relief (and low) rare piece. I just do not understand why there were 35,401 thousand pieces minted then destroyed with the exception of a very few and they have a different design? It's my understanding that the 1921 peace dollars are all high relief, yet the rare 1922 high relief are different. I do not understand a brief change of design only to go back to the original design that is the same of the 1921 high relief. I do understand the modification of low relief however, the design is the same the 1921. To hopefully sum up my question :If the peace dollar coin was minted in 1921 briefly towards the end of 1921, why would a design change take place in Jan of 1922 only 35 thousand pieces minted then destroyed with rare differences to go back to the original design just not as indepth (if you will) as the 1921? Who designed the high relief 1922 change? Just curious to that part. I had read an article where there had been no information with the mint regarding that batch or the change in design. I'll keep reading!! Thank you for your replies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
