    Nice strike.

    May I also take a wild guess that it's in a holder
    from across the street. Yeah, psychic, I know.

    I hope I am not embarrassing myself,
    or offending you,
    but I guess 58.

    It looks like it could be a VAM 1 I ?

    NGC MS64. semi-prooflike. This looks like one of the early strikes that are usually found dark toned, cleaned or AU.

    ClosedLoop: In reply to your above quoted question, the most prominent doubling that I observe on this coin is illustrated below on the reverse in the word STATES. Although I'm not certain, it may be strike doubling... image

    I don't care what number is on that coin, it is way hammered & IMHO worth much more as such.

    Nice strike.

    64?

    Okay, spill the beans... is this a 1921 overstrike of a 1964-D DCarr fantasy Peace dollar? image

    TomB: In reply to your above quoted question, Yes you are quite correct that she is in fact a VAM-1H -- that's part of the story... image

    Here are the VAM-1H diagnostic photos of this coin, matching those on VAM World's web site:

    Well, as others have stated, what a tremendous strike for that coin. I love it. Congratulations on your purchase.

  • HighReliefHighRelief Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The die file lines and strong strike makes it a very appealing coin.

    EagleEye (Rick): Thanks for your above quoted post. You are very perceptive based upon interpreting digital images.

    This 1921 Peace Dollar is possesses the strongest strike and highest luster of the 1921 Peace Dollars in my collection. It has what I'd characterize as "Glossy" luster in the fields, complemented by lightly contrasting frost on the devices. This coin is as close as I've got to a Semi-Prooflike Peace Dollar, with the "Glossy" luster being a bit more reflective than what I'd characterize as satiny luster.

    After comparing it to my several other VAM-1H's, I feel that this may be an earlier die state and strike than my other coins. image

    Nice. I'm not sure how you can keep up with so many different types of coins. I know you are also big into Morgans and bust halves. Keep them coming.
