The Rare and Valuable 1922 Silver Dollar

The 1922 silver dollar is a highly sought-after coin among collectors due to its rarity and unique features. One of the most valuable coins in this series is the 1922 Low Relief, Early Hub Dies Peace dollar from the Baker Estate, which was graded PCGS MS67. This coin has a low relief design and an early hub die, making it extremely rare.

Another highly valuable coin is the 1922 Modified High Relief (J-2020) Peace dollar, which was struck on a normal production press. It has a number '3200' inked in the left obverse field indicating that it was the last coin struck from the production run of 3,200 before the obverse die failed.

The 1922 Peace dollars were produced with varying finishes and reliefs during this period, making them highly collectible. One of the most unique coins is the 1921 Peace dollar, which has a normal High Relief design but with a sandblasted and antique finish. This coin was previously unreported and is now certified by PCGS as SP64.

The five newly certified coins from the Baker Estate include: 1922 Low Relief, Early Hub Dies Peace dollar graded PCGS MS67; 1922 Modified High Relief (J-2020) Peace dollar graded PCGS MS65; 1921 Peace dollar with a normal High Relief design but with a sandblasted and antique finish graded PCGS SP64; 1922 $1 PCGS PR67, which is one of the few surviving trial examples of 1922 Peace dollars with a Modified High Relief and a Satin finish; and 1922 Low Relief (Early hub dies) graded PCGS MS65.

The rarity and value of these coins are due to their unique features and limited production runs. According to Don Willis, President of PCGS, each of the five transitional Peace dollars now has the 'Baker Estate' pedigree indicated on the insert label in their PCGS holders. This is a testament to the importance of these coins and the significance of the Baker Estate collection.

In conclusion, the 1922 silver dollar is a highly valuable and rare coin due to its unique features and limited production runs. The five newly certified coins from the Baker Estate are a testament to the importance of this series and the value of these coins among collectors.
