My Turn To Ask For VAM Help: 1922-D Cud

RobJoyce1921dVAMguy · July 9, 2005 6:56AM

I picked this up out of an Indiana pawn shop junk box during my 4th of July holiday week. It looks familiar but I can't find it in the VAM updates. Did I miss it? Anybody recognize this? Thanks.

What's that above the L on the rim? Looks like an arrow...

Rob,

That is a fantastic looking CUD. I love it! I do not see one in the updates. Possible new one, maybe? Congrats on the purchase. Since it was in a junk box, I bet you spent very few dollars for it, right?

I love deals like those...

It's nice to see you didn't waste your entire weekend with the in-laws!!

NICE ONE!!

Don't have my TOP-50 Peace Dollar book, but just went through about 50 Peace Dollars this week at the local guys shop and didn't see one with a rim cud like this.

Thanks guys. I love cuds and this is a beauty.

As for the "arrow" over the cud, you are seeing more die cracks coming out of the cud onto the rim / denticle area. Neat optical illusion in the photo. Definitely there, but it doesn't look so apparent in person.

I pulled out 9 coins at $10 each:

The 1922-D Retained cud L of LIBERTY
1921-D VAM-1B1 AU-58 Super Slider
1921-P VAM-3S Gouge down from olive branch XF/AU
1921-P VAM-3A2. Gouges Tailfeathers and L of Dollar AU
1921-D VAM-3A XF
1921-P VAM-24A Die break U united, XF/AU
1921-P dot over O in OF. Can't find a VAM number for this one either. Probably too small a dot for Leroy to assign a VAM. AU

Don't know why I bought the next two. 1921 VAMs are a sickness of mine. Both are problem coins that should have stayed in Indiana.

1921-D VAM-1U polished AU
1921-P VAM-1A Damaged / cleaned. XF before all the damage.
Cheap coins with cool varieties.

Hey Rob,

$10.00 is what I am paying now for circulated dollars, too. Sometimes cool stuff, other times nothing.

Nice grad on the 3A as well, especially fopr $10.00.

So, how much do you want for the retained cud?

Nice cud Rob! I'll definetly have to see that one personally. Man that thing looks huge.....

messydesk · July 9, 2005 12:45PM

Ooh! Nice one! There have been lots of new 1922-P and 1922-D VAMs this year. If it hasn't been cataloged yet, I'm sure Leroy will add it.
