PCGS has their fair share of error slabs.

They are neat to have. A date mistake is very cool, especially when it is outside the series. Have you tried to insert it into a 1921 spot in their registry to see what their database thinks it is? I would thin it is correct there. Their census report would have a red flag otherwise.

I haven't tried to see what it is in their registry. I also picked up some Peace Dollars hoping they are popular VAMs because they have obvious deformities.

Peace dollars can be a lot of fun in that there are some gret varieties that aren't in the focused Top-50 list. New folks often buy the first one they see with circular cracks not knowing they are exceedingly common though.

Superb photos (and neat coin and error slab too!)...Mike

The extra blob of metal in between the branches on the reverse jumped out at me on this one. I don't know anything about Peace VAMs but I figured for a few extra dollars I could chance it and maybe it would turn out to be worth something.

Coxe · August 23, 2006 7:46AM

That is just a typical clash. You also have a weak one on the top of the eagle's shoulder.

Peaceman · August 23, 2006 7:46AM

Just a clash mark.... very common on peace $ in this location...

p8nt · August 23, 2006 7:54AM

Wow that is from a clash? Its an actual raised blob of metal. I haven't seen a clash like that before! That is kind of cool!

Fun find in Denver P8nt.

I am pondering that "clash mark" too. Seems more like a die break to me if it's raised. Anyone else know about this or possibly a VAM?

great find, I like error slab...

No, it is a very common clash, even if it does look startling. It does not qualify, on its own, as a distinct VAM. It's whatever the variety was unclashed.

That's not a clashmark. It is cut deeper into the die than the actual design. Looks more like a die gouge. Now the one up at the top of the eagles left wing and running to the neck, that looks like it could be a clashmark.

Coxe · August 23, 2006 8:50AM

It is most certainly a clash. I could show a dozen of them of various dates.

p8nt · August 23, 2006 9:02AM

I am torn on what to believe with the Peace. I know you Peace guys know your stuff but I think it is way too "blobby" and deep for a clash mark. A clash would be more shallow I would think.

Do any of you have a overlay of the obv/rev of a Peace dollar?

Coxe · August 23, 2006 9:15AM

Chapter 13 (Discussion of Significant Varieties), page 421, lower right of 4th edition of the VAM book. (Similar area, different page in other editions.)

Die clash. Very evident in this image.

The Peace dollar obverse has some very deep details at the top of the head below the R, the back of the neck, just below the bun, and right of the last tall ray. These deep areas on the coin are very high on the die and can produce spectacular clashes. The rays on the reverse are relatively shallow, so they can be struck all the way through by these deep obverse elements.

Cool error slab I snagged at the ANA show.
