AboutMyCoin1922-D Peace Dollar in AU55
A 1922-D Peace dollar graded AU55 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and AU55 is what a grader called the surface that survived. What that looks like on this coin is below. Where the grade sits against the rungs either side of it, and every way it is written on a slab, are in the table below.
What AU55 means
A 1922-D Peace dollar in About Uncirculated (AU-55) shows slight wear at the highest points of the design and nowhere else: the hair above Liberty’s eye and the high points of the rays of her crown are just touched, the eagle’s shoulder and the feathers along the top of its folded wing likewise, and most of the original mint lustre is intact. The trade writes it as Choice About Uncirculated, and it is the rung where the question stops being how worn the coin is and becomes how much lustre it kept.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade AU-55. They are the same grade and the same 1922-D Peace dollar.
Where this grade sits
