1934-D DDO Peace

AUandAG · January 29, 2007 10:24AM

Another forum member (sorry lost thread) brought this coin to the attention of
the forums two weeks ago and said he thought it was a DDO from the pic on E-bay,
here's the link to that auction:1934-D auction
I said I'd post the pics when I received the coin. Yes, it's a DDO but not the Choice BU
(whatever grade that would be!) but a nice EF. I don't collect Varieties in the Peace
series so if you would care to give me a retail I'd appreciate knowing how screwed I got!

thanks,
bob

Well, it is a DDO and a Top-50 Peace dollar. Which one is important: VAM-3 or VAM-4. A filled medium-sized D is VAM-3, which is the more common of the two and is worth <$50 in XF. The VAM-4 has a small D mintmark and is worth in the $300-$500 neighborhood in XF, depending on how PQ it is and all.

edited to add>>> Go here for details.

It's the filled D, of course!
thanks for the info! Only lost $75.....I'm ok with that.

From the auction, I like the "No Visible wear or Distracting Bag Marks." line!

Nice score though!

You mean a DDO is only worth <$50 or is it just the filled D thats worth <$50?

It's better to be luck than good. For a regular 1934-D not such a good deal - for a VAM-3, nice snag. I don't think the seller had a clue.

The VAM-3, the one with the filled D (this one), is worth that -- probably closer to $30 but depends ont he coin and who's buying.

Just to let you all know, and thanks for the help, I e-mailed the seller
and also left positive feedback. The e-mail stated that I thought he
was way off on the condition. He's offered a full refund. I also told him
it was a DDO and sent the two pics to him too. Sure was fun to anticipate
the arrivial of the coin. Yes, I don't think he had a clue as to the DDO.

DDO with filled D (VAM 3) is worth < $50.
DDO with clear, micro D (VAM 4) is worth much more, say $175 in XF.

that person was me who posted it in the "bst" forum.being tapped out on funds i posted it there for humble honest reasons as those doubled tiara spikes looked killer in the photos but thought i'd pass it along was all.

AUandAG · January 29, 2007 2:33PM

YESSSSSSSSSsssss, just forgot and boy I should have remembered!
LV teddy, thanks for the fun. If you want this baby PM me and let me
know but do keep in mind it is NOT MS quality!

oh i also got chewed out for posting it by another member who said it was wrong to post it in the first place...geez.i like this little community but will cease in the future

AUandAG · January 29, 2007 2:40PM

OK, I give, what was wrong with that? Is it because you weren't selling the coin?
Tell them to kiss my .... I thought the forums are there to help each other,,,,am I
wrong? Pass the knowledge and such to the next fella???

all i know is i will not be posting like such in the future as a big lesson has been learned by me here.i love this place and people here and am sorry it wasn't a "hot tip"i really hoped it was all the seller stated and even the bigger of the vams to boot!
i go to my corner now-lesson learned
