<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spider969, post: 433606, member: 15740&quot;]Well I have made it up to the dollar coins and while sorting and cataloging them I see that I have a bunch (a bunch meaning 8) of 1922 Peace dollars.&nbsp; While cataloging them I see that there was 35,401 coins minted with high relief (most melted at the mint) and 51.7 million at low or shallow relief.&nbsp; Normally I would just assume that these are of the shallow or low relief but since my grandfather (who started the collection) worked at the Philadelphia mint most of his life I though it possible that they are of the high relief.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my question is ---&nbsp; How can I tell which they are?&nbsp; The 2009 red book dosen&#039;t show how to tell.&nbsp; And I am not sure what high/low/shallow relief means.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for helping me understand the differance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning everyday</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
