1922 Peace Silver Dollar

This is my introduction to the Steemit Silver community. Today, I am sharing a part of my small silver stack that I am currently collecting with the hopes of always acquiring mas over time. The history behind these coins is that my uncle gifted me 10 coins, but eight were stolen. These are the last two that I have because I hid them in a separate location. My uncle told me that he was helping someone move out of an old home in San Francisco and a bunch of these fell out of an old couch. The booty was split between the movers.

The two coins featured above are called the 1922 Peace Silver Dollar and the worth differs depending on circulation use and where it was minted. These coin in particular does not have the "D" for Denver or "S" for San Francisco on them so they are lower in value.

Also, there is what is called circulation indicators called "grades."

As you can see, from the photo of my coins and the rare uncirculated coin is graded as "gem quality." The coin is much cleaner and finer in appearance. See below for examples on how to help distinguish the difference.

I am not an expert in silver or gold coins, but I am learning. I went to a silver dealer here in Colorado and my coins were appraised at approximately $28 each. Although they are not in pristine uncirculated quality they are still considered collector's items and a step above the regular rounds of silver. As I learn more, I will be posting on my new findings regarding silver and ways to start your own silver stack.
