1922 VAM 2C1 EDS DIE BREAK

[bhinkle]

I can't believe, that I missed this cool die break all of these years.
I have Tom and his great 1922 vam 26A find to thank for, because I got my 1922
Peace dollars out to search for that 'Tear Die Chip on the Top of the Wing' vam 26A.
As you can see it is a very EDS, but I was glad, that I finally saw it.
I think all of the doubling, that I see, like the last 2 and the profile, is machine doubling
right?
Enjoy, Bert

Bert it is machine doubling but it still neat too see . Not all machine doubling is the same .
It helps to take your time and smell the roses and taste the wine . Enjoy the lady you hold in your hands ,
Nice coin Bert .

Nice coin, and yes, strong machine doubling. I would call the break medium die state, a true EDS would be more crack than break in that area. Undergraded too!

Thanks for the post as it prompted me to go back and look at my own. The 2C2 listing has a nice writeup and apparently there are 4 stages. The last two are more a barrette than extra hair. We both appear to be stage 2. This coin was my first breakout of a details coin that came back straight graded from a different TPG. Victories are memorable. My fine haired lady:

Nice pickup, in an old rattler to boot!
