PCGS - The 1922 Peace dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint may be one of the most common dates among all Peace dollars, but it boasts some outstanding and highly collectible varieties. One of these is the 1922 Moustache Dollar, a variety stemming from a regular-issue coin and catalogued by silver dollar experts Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis as VAM 12A in their seminal work, Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace dollars. PCGS recognizes this dramatic die crack variety by its Van Allen/Mallis designation of VAM 12A.

This fantastic variety was originally reported by Clark Yowell in 1964 and is widely hailed as one of the most important Peace dollar VAMs out there. In fact, it is perhaps the most popular of all Peace dollar VAMs due to the startling feature that can be clearly seen with the unaided eye across Miss Liberty's upper lip. The die crack, seen on the obverse just under Miss Liberty's nose, has the nearly comical appearance of a thick, prominent moustache.
