Question
why are there no 1922 nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars?
Hello Dennis,
There was a rush by the US Mint to replace all the silver dollars due to the PITTMAN ACT.
The mint produced more than 51 million at Philadelphia alone and more than 15 million and 17 million at the Denver and San Francisco mints.
This was quite a feat at the time as well as changing the design from the Morgan type and modifying the Peace design to a lower relief as well.
Good Luck
