I need to see a visual of a 1922 Peace Dollar to confirm the potential error on the obverse. Thank You!

First you have to know specifically what the suspected error is, and second, whether or not it really is a mistake. The compare the coin with pictures of others with the same design to see if they're the same or not.

The (misplaced) comment above refers to a 1922 Peace dollar; that denomination is a frequent source of confusion because its design was lettered using the Roman alphabet instead of the English one.

The Roman alphabet has the 24 of the same letters as ours, but U and J were different. The Roman "U" was written using the letter we call V so the motto "In God We Trust" looks like "TRVST" . Many people think it's a spelling error but in fact it's completely correct.

The J sound was represented by our letter I, so for example the name "Julius" (as in Julius Caesar) would look like IVLIVS to modern eyes!
