Re: i need help with my 1923 S Peace dollar

To bring this one back to the top, I need to look at my 1923S files for this & other coins.

Re: MY OTHER 1921 PCGSMS64+ VAW 1W?

I am not convince that this coin is a VAM 1W, the die scratches especially in the lower rays do not appear to be the same as shown on the VAMworld page. With 1921 Peace having an estimated 400 die marriages, there are a multitude of unlisted clashed/polished varieties, of your appears to be one. Hop...

Re: I need help with my 1921 Peace vam 1O?

On the macro on the VAMworld page for VAM 1o, there is a horizontal die scratch from the snout of the 2nd 1 in date extending left.
I agree with the Colonel, try VAM 1W.

Regarding VAM 2K2, you found the variety, even if it was initially given a different listing, so you still get credit for it.

Re: 1934 D VAM 3A

Nice pickup! I am not sure of any doubled dies in Morgans which can match this one. Maybe Hotlips? Maybe Shifted eagle?

Re: What is this called?

The rim appears to be fairly well struck up, so I would lean toward a grease strike through.

Re: What is a Die Study?

First of all, there is good information for starting a date study in posts above. Having done date studies on most dates of Peace dollars (sorry, not 1921 with an estimated 400 die marriages!), I would recommend starting with a low mintage date to "get your feet wet" In doing this, I have found near...

Re: 1927 Rev Doubling, would love some opinions :)

I found a specimen of this variety. This reverse is paired with a minor doubled die obverse, most prominent on the DI.
The die scratch on the leaves is a useful die marker, but not obvious enough to warrant a listing on its own. I am still studying the coin re: giving it a listing.

Not a dramatic break, but it is a scarce coin. Nice pickup! It il likely to be quite some tome before finding an upgrade.

Re: 1922-P with faint die crack going from rays into back of bun, crack though the neck to the 1, Any opinions?

Minor die cracks are common on Peace dollars, and are not listed or listable unless dramatic or showing displacement. From what I see, yours is VAM 2.
