"2022 [P]" Peace Silver over-strike, High-Relief ("Broken Sword" reverse), High Grade

Peace Dollars were originally minted from 1921 to 1935. 100 years after the first such coins, the US Mint issued 2021-dated Morgan and Peace dollars. In mid-2022 the US Mint announced that they were scrapping plans for 2022 Morgan and Peace dollars due to the unavailability of silver blanks. But the announcement indicated that the US Mint intended to resume production of Morgan and Peace dollars with 2023 dates, after skipping 2022.

Since these are over-struck on genuine coins, they have the correct weight (no metal is added or removed), correct metallic content, and correct diameter and edge type. There may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. All the over-strikes are privately and painstakingly performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press.

All are struck on Peace Silver Dollars originally minted from 1922 to 1935.

This version has the original “Broken Sword” reverse that was part of the original design but was removed just prior to the production of the first 1921 Peace Dollars.
