mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:21 am Here it is. This was very hard for me to crop. Other than that, this is one of my favorite Peace dollars with nice light purple toning on both sides, and would grade AU-58 to me. (P, D, or S)? There is an obvious clue that tells you the mintmark from a device variant on the obv. Report this Post to the Staff

suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 4:14 pm 34-D VAM 3 or 4. Major score if it's a VAM 4. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 5:19 pm Yes it is a vam-3 DDO from Denver, and I actually did not know that when I bought it from an antique store as an upgrade from my previous 34-D. It is only when I went to vamworld.com that I "discovered" it. On vamming, I almost always go to the important and rare and valuable VAM numbers first, then move onto the more common vams if my dollar doesn't fit those descriptions. I know even the vam-3 here carries a higher premium than most other 34-D vams. Yep, I would have been tickled pink if it had been the vam-4, but still not complaining at all for this vam-3.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 6:00 pm Well, I did manage to get these right side up, since I am doing all this from a touchphone, so I simply rotated the phone camera 90 degrees to get it to proper orientation. This coin definitely looks better in person though. Report this Post to the Staff
