very rare 1921 Peace dollar with Morgan reverse

I've never seen one before...are these as rare and valuable as I think?

Definitely more rare since it is encased in two different slabs.

Wow...it even has a CC mintmark!

Is it a half pcgs coin? Does it carry half the pcgs premium?

That is a good price for a UNC1921 that based off the obv has a good shot at being a VAM3

Probably a simple HTML mistake. I don't think the seller is trying to fool anyone.
Anyone familiar with ACG grading? I've seen a few here n there, they seem to be fairly accurate.

EDIT:
<<That is a good price for a UNC1921 that based off the obv has a good shot at being a VAM3>>

How can you tell if it's a VAM3 with no pic of the ray passing over the first L in dollar?
Just trying to expand my knowledge base, is there something on the obverse that tipped you?

I have handled thousands of peace dollars and always liked the 21 vam3 since it was a key date on a HR and it was also a hand worked die which is rare on the 20th CEN coins. That said the VAM3s always comes with atrocious central detail and heavy frosty luster. My made up theory about them is they were late strikes and the dies clashed and were strengthened by hand and the press pressure reduced to preserve the die.

While a 21 can have weak centers or frosty luster when you see them both to the extremes it is a good bet that it is a VAM but it isn't 100%. Also in full disclosure I bought the coin as it looks like a true unc and very clean to my been wrong before eyes. I needed one more coin to round out a submission at Baltimore and if it makes 63 or 64 I should make a few hundred more of it is the VAM and even more if is a PL CC Morgan in an OGH
