Is this 1923 Peace Dollar a VAM?

I'm not a VAMer, but when you see something on a silver dollar that is strange... Well it might be a VAM. Is the die break in the hair a VAM? If so is it a Top 100 or Hot 50 and what number is it? Finally, what is it worth?

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Marty:

    Yes it is, and it's a dandy one. VAM 1B "Extra Hair" Hot 50, and it looks like the Late Die State from the size of the crack/extra hair.
    It also brings a nice premium. Here are some previous actual sales that have taken place:

    1923- 1B 65 NGC Apr-08 H $748
    1923- 1B 64 PCGS Jul-07 H $748
    1923- 1B 64 NGC Aug-07 H $570
    1923- 1B 63 PCGS Nov-06 TT $106
    1923- 1B 62 PCGS Dec-07 VQ $169
    1923- 1B 62 ICG Feb-08 TT $168
    1923- 1B 62 NGC Dec-06 TT $90

    1923- 1B 58 NGC Dec-06 TT $45
    1923- 1B LDS 62 ANACS Aug-06 E $200
    When in doubt, don't.

    VERY COOL!!!

    Now about about this one, a 1923 with a die crack or something raised off the 3 running to the right, and the 3 is doubled.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    On the second one the die break goes from the 3 all the way to the V in TRVST. It's tough to pick up with the camera, but it's a nice size break/crack.

    Second one looks like an ordinary die crack, nothing special.

    But you SUCK Marty on that first one.

    Great find, pop 6 with only 2 finer both in 65. Now go back to where you came from and stay away from VAMs. image
