Nice find on the 1923 VAM 1AC2. Any variety with a nickname is special as in this case "Whisker Chin". Twin clash spikes off the eagle's shoulder, intersecting die cracks forming an X below eagle's talon, and line through D are interesting die markers. Recently, my 1923 VAM 1AC2 specimen received an...

Thanks for offering that die attribution guide on the die sequences of 1889 P VAM 23. It reflects your in depth die study on this great VAM 23 series. Cherrypicking that 1889 P VAM 23 A out of a bowl of loose Morgan Dollars must have been absolutely epic! Now, vammers enjoy updated die sequences on ...

Nice retained cud 1923 D Peace $. I was quite surprised to find a 1923 D VAM 1W Peace Dollar specimen in a very small assortment of silver dollars owned by my uncle 23 years ago. This same 1923 D $ now resides in an ANACS MS 60 holder. I remember showing it to Ash at a local Raleigh Coin Show about ...

Awesome long large die break bisecting eagle's breast vertically. Great coin Bert !!
My only wounded eagle specimen is a 2000 P Sacagawea $ Speared Eagle variety NGC MS 65

Congratulations on a wonderful Peace $ Set and thanks for your great support in promoting Peace $ VAMS!

Description was too short when no mention of the strong doubling inside top of D (GOD) was made. I remember how impressive this doubled D looked on my first well circulated 1934 D VAM 3 cherry picked specimen.

Interesting hook shaped break off the left star point. Thanks for sharing.

Clashed die sequence is very difficult to interpret and follow with a limited number of specimen. Your dedication on research in this field is exemplary. Thank You Wayne for all of the contributions that you provide on VAMWorld!

Bottom pic showing TRVST on 1922 D with caption "die crack _maybe" looks like VAM 2H

It is ironic how clashed die mishaps during the minting of coins has evolved into highly desirable collectible variety coins today.

Thanks for the historic documentation regarding the criticism of clashed die events at the mint.

Congrats Jody. Good to see a new listing.

Has anyone ever seen a full blown clamshell on a Morgan/Peace Dollar? The 1921 P VAM 89 is noted on the Page as having a radial die scratch thru E in STATES. My specimen does not show this die marker. I have never seen a clamshell on a Morgan, but would love to. My VAM 89 has the E scratch, but it ...

PEACE DOLLARS ROCK! MANY MAJOR DIE BREAKS
Leroy nicknamed my submission 1923 D VAM 1B2 PEG LEG

Try VAM 2CE
Nice Find
Note unlisted collar clash below PEACE .

I wanted to share an error Morgan that displays an edge crack through the reeding from above the T (UNITED) down above the star. The cracked planchet caused eight incomplete/deformed denticles left of UNITED. Another short crack through the reeding shows left of LA (DOLLAR) without strike deformatio...

Availability of VAM supplements is important. Please continue.

Thanks for the update Tom. Beautiful 1928 Peace $.

All of the marks circled on reverse are clash marks. Sometimes the clash at the eagle's shoulder is very closely doubled and difficult to photograph. Recently posted a LDS 1923 S VAM 1AG with unlisted reverse radial die break from rim below C (PEACE) on June 30. Photos were posted on July 18 2022. T...

The odd dented denticles are very common on 1921 S VAM 1BV. Leroy called out the VAM 1BV as " the most severe case of overpolished upper tail feathers that I've seen."

I realize this is a very old post , However I picked one up last week ,NOT ATTRIBUTED and wanted to confirm there was nothing special about the disrupted field , before I cracked it out and tapped the label in my DANSCO . Appears to be LDS VAM 1B1 as well , maybe just before the DIe exploded at the...
