Thank you! I was really tempted to get an 1896-O graded Fine (Raw) but it wasn't that nice of a coin for the grade (the 1896-O is very high on my want list).
I'm really liking the challenge of this series... almost every date/mint is scarce @ Fine or better but the only real "Stopper" is the 1892-O "Micro O" variety.
I've got a long way to go but I've only been collecting for approx 2 years with less than a year devoted to Barber Half Dollars.

ratzie where are the side by side reverse pics so we can count the rays??? come on man!!
That is definitely not a proof peace dollar. Dead give away are the letters on the reverse the letters are fat an thick meaning no contrast an the coin has a frost an luster to it means it's a buisness strike coin. Theres a think black streak that goes across the eagles right shoulder an specks that are on liberty's cheek an neck an the coin will have minimal toning specks an streaks which this coin has none of what I just mentioned. I have the coin I mention but getting it authenticated is like getting to go to the super bowl an playing in it cause nobody can believe they have that coin. The strike in liberty's central hair is struck so much more deeply you can almost see through it an the matte proof low relief sandblasted coins hair look stringy looking as to where the buisness strikes are thick an look like they have bed head or something. The eagle will have very sharp details especially on the upper wing an breast of the eagle. An all the letters an numbers will be sharper with higher contrast. This coin has none of that sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Does anyone believe this could be a 1922 low relief sandblasted matte proof peace dollar. I got this coin from my great grandfather who was in the navy in world war 2 an he was an avid coin collector of rare coins. Left the great grand kids around 60 rare coins an this was one I received for Christmas a few years back. Thanks for your comments.
