Need Some DarkSide Help on this 23 S Please

Post by jrfaust » Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:44 pm

Need a little help on this 1923 S. A good friend of mine is getting into the Dark Side and ask me for some help on this one. He's stumped, I'm stumped :? So, any help would be appreciated. I've been up and down the VAM pages with no luck.
There is a crack from top of hair bun all the way down to just over the 3 in date. There looks to be plenty of displaced metal along the crack. There are a few lite cracks at neck, tiara, hair and there is a single spike on Eagles shoulder and the usual clash marks on reverse.
@davidkclose @colwillys @DarksideVAM what do you think? :popcorn:
Thanks Gents! :D

I have this coin, not currently listed. I can see some displacement across the die break, especially at the left edge of neck. Before I give it a listing, I want to be able to get adequate photos demonstrating the die crack & displacement.
I have identified over 200 die marriages for 1923S, so it will take time to properly vet any new ones.
Keep on looking, there are still good coins out there!

Thanks @davidkclose I'll send you an email as I have a few 22 B1 rev I'd like you to look at. I'll send photos like I have in the past. Thanks again for all you do!

Hey just wanted to let you know, I've noticed all the work you've done on the PEACE VAM pages. It's looking great! :D
Thanks again Doc!

Just wanted to bring this near the top, I will list this one assuming I can get adequate photos of displacement across the break.
