The 1922 Peace Dollar MS-62 PCGS (Struck-Thru Obverse) is a fascinating mint error coin from the early Peace Dollar series. Issued by the United States Mint in 1922, the coin is struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, containing approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
This coin features a “struck-through” mint error on the obverse, which occurs when a foreign object (such as grease, debris, or cloth fibers) comes between the die and the planchet during striking. This results in a distinct impression or missing detail on the coin’s surface, making each struck-through error unique and highly collectible.
Graded MS-62 (Mint State 62) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), the coin is in uncirculated condition, displaying full design details along with moderate contact marks typical for the grade, while retaining original mint luster.
The obverse features the classic Lady Liberty portrait designed by Anthony de Francisci, while the reverse showcases a bald eagle perched on a rock with the word “PEACE”, symbolizing hope and stability after World War I.
With its recognized mint error, PCGS certification, and uncirculated MS-62 grade, the 1922 Peace Dollar (Struck-Thru Obverse) is a unique addition for error coin collectors and numismatists seeking distinctive and one-of-a-kind pieces.
