PEACE Vam question/comments: double clashed spikes

BobaFett72

Just curious about some of the Peace Vams with the double clashed spikes. Ive found them on a few coins that arent designated on the Ashmore site etc. Including the 25S, 26s and 28S. Just curious if anyone knew of some new designations. Thanks!

They need letter transfer to qualify as vams. From Obverse to Reverse, or Reverse to Obverse. Spikes alone are not enough.

In addition to what Mr. Wolf359 said, the spikes on the eagle's shoulder need to extend into the letters of the motto. Just having two short spikes does not qualify it either.

Actually, this is not correct. The statement holds true for Morgan VAMs, but not for Peace VAMs. The latest requirement for a clashed die Peace VAM acknowledgement is a super long clash spike above the eagle's right shoulder that extends into the letters of UNUM, a double, or triple, clash spike above the eagle's shoulder, or a letter transfer as Jack stated (Oh so very rare). These requirements can change at any time. I currently hold discovery credit on the following 2 Peace dollar clashed die varieties that are not yet listed on the Ashmore website:

1922-P VAM 2AP II 1 · B2a (Triple Clash Spikes Eagle’s Shoulder) I-2 R-5
Reverse B2a– Slightly tripled long vertical die clash spikes up from eagle’s right shoulder.





1922-P VAM 2AQ II 1 · B2a (Close Double Clash Spikes Eagle’s Shoulder) I-2 R-5
Reverse B2a– Clashed die with faint closely double long vertical spikes up from eagle’s right shoulder.
Spikes closer together than VAMs 2AB, 3A, 18A, & 41A.

Here are a couple of pics. This is from the 1924S; the 1925 is almost exactly the same, but with less curve on the spike.

The pictures ae too blurry to get a good idea of what is going on. Anyway to get them not blurry? Just the spike area is all we need.
