Important points to note
- Mint Marks: The Philadelphia Mint produced the most 1922 Peace Dollars, so they are generally less valuable than those from Denver (D) or San Francisco (S).
- Condition: Coins in uncirculated or mint condition (MS grades) are significantly more valuable than those in circulated condition.
- Errors: Rare errors, such as die breaks, doubled dies, or off-center strikes, can dramatically increase a coin’s value, potentially reaching hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
- High Relief: A limited number of 1922 High Relief Peace Dollars were minted before the design was adjusted for easier striking. These are extremely rare and valuable, with some selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Composition: All 1922 Peace Dollars contain 90% silver and 10% copper, giving them an inherent melt value that fluctuates with the price of silver. As of August 11, 2025, the melt value is approximately $29.23.
It’s recommended to have your 1922 Peace Dollar professionally graded to accurately determine its value, especially if it appears to be in excellent condition or has a potential error. You can consult coin grading services like NGC or PCGS for evaluation.
How do I know if my 1922 silver dollar is rare?
From my experience, These high relief coins were struck fewer times before the mint shifted to a lower relief design for easier production. As a result, the high relief versions are rare and command higher prices. Another rare variant is the 1922 silver dollar with no mint mark which was actually produced in Denver.
