<p>[QUOTE="Windi, post: 2927675, member: 91450"]It's my understanding that high relief meant a wider edge and they reduced the edge so the coin would stack better, hence low relief. From the history in 1922 all the mints received the dies in January 1922 and waited for the changes (being the low relief version). It also is my understanding that Morgan produced the 35 thousand and halted. They were then destroyed with a few exceptional pieces. </p><p>What I do not understand is why the various changes were made to one run for Jan 1922 (by Morgan?) when in four days(End of December) over one million 1921 peace dollars produced high relief, a different version was created in January- both high and low relief that were destroyed.. and the original version (matching the 1921) in which all the mints had already received the dies waiting for the low relief modification go ahead , match the original? </p><p>Why would Morgan change the design in January, destroy it and back to original? That just seems strange, especially since no one knew about them for a very long time? </p><p>Maybe I watch too many conspiracy theories...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
