Mintage & rarity

51,737,000 minted in Philadelphia for 1922; common date

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight (26.73g), diameter (38.1mm), perform a ring test (silver has a distinct high-pitched ring), and ensure correct design details; rare counterfeits exist for key dates, though 1922 is generally common.

Notable varieties & errors

High Relief (1921), 1922 High Relief (extremely rare proof-like strikes), and various minor doubled die varieties.

Similar coins

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges only with clean cotton gloves, avoid cleaning or dipping to preserve natural toning, and store in a stable, low-humidity environment using PVC-free coin holders.
