About how would this coin grade?

I bought a couple of Peace dollars of this caliber today. Was wondering what you thought. I can upload a picture of the reverse tomorrow with a macro lens. Didn't think of that until just now.

Where did you get them from?

Some are coming in from China.

I got it from a reputable coin dealer in Lubbock Texas. 1922 would not be a year to counterfeit. The Chinese would be more apt to counterfeit the 1921, the 1928 Philadelphia, or the 1934 San Francisco. The 1922 would not be worth it to make MS fakes! see here: http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/peadlr/pricesgd.shtml
 
It's definitely real. A good silver trading coin. I have a few of this year, all in crap condition. But Silver is Silver.
 
They (Peace Dollar) can have a strange look like that, at times,

just like the Maples have a milky substance, sometimes.

One good way to know for sure is to weigh them...

A Peace Dollar weighs 26.730 grams !

:cool:

it ways around that i think 27.71 or something. i noticed that the canadian maples tend to be heavy by about 0.5% to almost 2%. my Engelhard and other generic rounds/bars are spot on, my ASE's are too. but my U.S Assay single round and mexican libertad were about 4 grains too light! dammit. it evens out i guess
 
As for grading I would think it would be in your higher VF or lower EF grades. This is just by quick referencing the "Official Red Book" it could be a little higher but I would doubt it to sneak into AU because photos and real life can be a lot different. Still a nice looking purchase with plenty of details still showing. Thanks for sharing.
 
Up to the 1970s you could go to any Bank in the US and ask to exchange your notes for bullion, mainly Morgans and Peace $.
They didn't have much of a numismatic value, if any, as those coins were stored in canvas bags and they almost all had bag-marks from very poor storage quality. Although by then (in the 70s) some people had realized the potential value of the rare dates, and not all Banks had them handy... but you could still order them if you were really keen in getting them.
Today I see many of them selling on Ebay and other places for a nice premium. I often get suspicious when I see them in UNC or even brilliant unc... as I don't know how this could be, for the reason I have already given.
So guys, be careful with Morgans and Peace dollars... many are not what they seem, and they are the preferred types for fakes, due to their popularity and huge volume.

Just my 'little piece of advice' for today.

At least you can safely say it's not a fake with all that wear :)
 
Looks to me as from a bag of uncirculated Peace dollars. Uncleaned with normal marks and scratches.

nah, i know its at least AU. maybe thats hard to see in the pictures. there may be a lot of marks but there is about zero wear on it and lots of mint luster still there.

here is the back by the way. it might be even worse than the obverse. can't find the tripod.

Cool mate.

Photos do give the impression that the lettering is beginning to show some significant wear.
