VAMWorld 2.0

Nice pickup!!! As you have noted, this is a very rare coin, the 2 in the Registry are the only ones of which I am aware.

Retained gas bubble?

None of the NGC coins have the notation of discovery coin. They won's put the VAM designation on a Peace dollar if it is not in the Top 50, although I don't know about the Elite 30.

First of all, welcome back! I got my first grandchild earlier this year, so I have not been as active in VAMs or on this site as I would have liked. While I have often been the "Crusher of Dreams" in getting a listing killed, I have had the chore of occasionally getting my own discoveries eliminated...

I just posted several more on my BST thread

I would agree with not paying a premium for this one in a circulated grade. Uncs are distinctly scarce however.

Another VAMmer had asked about Peace dollar discovery coins, I I have pulled a few out of my inventory. All will come with a copy of my letter from Leroy.

There is a die state of 1CQ which has a collar clash in the area shown, but other die markers don't match. Nice pickup!

I don't recognize this as a listed VAM. Leroy won't list a clashed die unless it is dramatic - double or triple clashed or extending into UNUM. Likewise, he won't list a coin for a die crack unless there is some displacement - look carefully for any deflection in the field especially in the left upp...

I will guess lamination also, I have seen similar feature on a few Peace dollars. If someone finds another, then you have a major find!

It appears that the die & coin are worn, but it appears to be a VAM 2. What you see on the obverse is machine doubling.

Good job! Not to worry, I have been foole3d by a counterfiet also.

Hi Tom, I think that you have a VAM 1AU, of which the old VAM 1J is the LDS. Unfortunately, the pages don't show the die cracks well other than the LLQ of the obverse, but your photos on the VAM 1AU page would be a big help. Even if not a new discovery, it is still a nice coin,. Keep on looking, the...

Does your coin have the die crack at date of VAM 1BM?
