  1. Is the only picture of this coin available an diagnostics an die Marks.
  2. I agree with that statement cause coin collecting would be a thing of the past if there was nothing to search for. As I say to a lot of folks back in them days you think if we worked at the mint there wouldn't have been a few extra made of this an that for collecting an for people to discover in the future. Not to mention back in the depression I believe there was some employees that would have saved something valuable back for a loved one or relative an such. I would have an believe others would have as well jus saying. That's why there's been so many new discoveries an finds to this day. As we had written documents back then not computers to keep records of what all was made an not made an wish they'd made or whatever.
  3. I agree with neither were expert to verify this coin. An I'm not saying it's the one dont take me the wrong way. Just asking questions and information is all. Hopefully to learn something valuable. I think outside the box an not stay in a bubble cause everything changes that's facts.
  4. As I understand these particular coins are not shiny correct. Can you tell me about them as far as die Marks an such. I know a lot of experts and such talk about in there books and things about these coins an I get it believe me. Why my grandfather collected this particular coin is a mystery still. I've had a guy outta Pennsylvania that authenticates foriegn coins fake currency an has many American coins as well the whole Morgan collection as some. He said the diagnostics of my coin matched that of the matte proof low relief but that's just one opinion as I know. Also on business peace dollar's the lettering is more thicker on all the lettering. The R on dollar is even flattened out at the end an the business strikes are bold an thick at the end of the R. The lettering definitely matches the lettering of the matte proof though. I've looked over an over at my 22 compared to the matte proof on NGCs coin site an it matches the coin absolutely perfectly. I've even had this coin graded by some dealers and they graded at AU58 an I thought to myself if so would not the hair on liberty be flattened an so forth. The sharpness of this coin is next to none an really has me scratching my head. An as I said it may not be one original that was meant to be matte proof but I'm believing if not then I think it was struck by one of the dies after the fact or something cause it looks so much like the matte proof. I've looked at countless graded an ungraded peace dollar's an none that I've seen resemble this coin in its entirety.
  5. I'm in total agreement with you about the pictures. I just posted this for the heck of it. Its gonna be a few weeks for I can send Quality photos that are presentable. Do you have any Quality pictures of the 1922 low relief matte proof by chance. Be really cool to see.
  6. On the reverse it has the exact same split in the beak of the eagle. It also has the same streak across the right shoulder of the eagle which is a key die mark. The details are really sharp on obverse and reverse of the coin. In has a smokey grey metallic matte finish look to the coin no mint luster at all. Smokey grey patina an in the dark with nice lighting it glitters like something outta a story book I have to say. One of the most beautiful coins I've ever seen.
  7. Here is only pic I have at moment. I have many more but at moment I'm trying to retrieve from old phone. My grandfather was in world war 2 an was an avid coin collector who left a few of his collection to us grandchildren. A regular ole peace dollar I'm not sure he would jus leave just saying. Grandfather took his collection very seriously and just didn't collect any ole coin.
  8. I have good pictures of coin but not at moment just one that won't do much justice. My grandfather was in world war 2 an was an avid coin collector and left a few grand kids his collection which was only bout 20 rare coins that he had collected over some years. This coin shares the same diagnostics as the matte finish as the same die Marks I've studied more than I care to admit. The coin is like a wet to the touch feeling in hand an I've compared to countless peace dollar's of all years an none resemble this coins characteristic. I know it's a long shot but you just never know what the mint done in those days. I've had two experts look at this coin an said it has the same characteristics as the matte finish and others said no an I get it cause it's that hard to believe. I firmly believe if it's not one of original I believe it was struck by one of the dies which struck one of the matte proofs which would still make it an error coin.
  9. The DDO 001 is so easy to see. That said the 004 an so forth are very hard to understand and find even with studying the Different DDO countless times.
  10. Would like to have some information about these types of coins an also would like to ask does die Marks on a coin authenticate that coin.
