1925 p peace with a couple of die cracks and doubling. This particular coin was given to me for my birthday when I was little. The coin has nice eye appeal and a rust toning other wise gem condition.I would be interested in your opinions of what I have. I ultimately will probably get it appraised and maybe Certified

One thing I can tell you is there is no need to get the coin graded (certified). It is a common date and not in a high enough grade, condition wise, to even compensate for the grading fees.

The VAM error does not make difference then? Speared eagle with Die crack at the top and opposite side has die clashes on The face with a die crack at the bottom between the neck and 1. Not worth anything then. Ok.

Well I don't collect VAM's so I'm not the one to ask about that. I just go by dates and Mint Marks for Peace dollars. Most of the rarer VAM's are for Morgans. Stick around, I'm sure somebody will be around later this morning with the information you are looking for........

I'm with Marv65 - to my eye it's a common date coin in common grade and not worth the expense of being certified.

Hopefully one of our VAM experts will be able to clarify that point.

Welcome to CCF! I don't see any die clashes on the face. On Peace dollars obverse clashes are mostly in the field of the coin. Clashes are interesting but usually do not add much value unless there is letter transfer like on Morgan dollars. Letter clash transfers on Peace dollars are rare. A common die clash on Peace dollars is a spike on eagle shoulder which is the back of Liberty's neck. They are not given VAM numbers unless they are long or double, triple clash spikes.

Die cracks are fun too but are very common on Peace dollars, they are usually not given a VAM number unless something else is going on like a very long die crack or die break. Die cracks by Liberty neck are really common. You could join Vamworld discussion group and post pics there if you want. Because the die crack is by eagle's beak there might be a VAM number for it or you could submit it to the folks at Vamworld for consideration to assign a VAM number to it. Though your coin is interesting, as others said it's not worth grading.

Here is overlay of Peace dollar obverse where clashes might appear:

1925-P-Peace-With--Speared-Eagle-And-Die-Cracks-On-Reverse--Obverse-Has-Errors-Too.

And here is my 1922 S Peace with clashes on both sides including a reverse spike on eagle shoulder. I submitted it to Leroy Van Allen to get a VAM number but was told there's not enough there so it's just a normal die with clashes. Leroy no longer attributes Vams, a group on Vamworld do it.

Thanks for the clarifications. Still love my coin. 1ST birthday present from my grandad. The speared look from the extra ray going through the eagle body is very crisp and raised. I have truly become a coin fan. My father just past recently and I started roll hunting as a therapy and to keep that tradition alive. He was the big collector. Now I have been.adding to my personal collection and really looking at the coins that were gifted to me as a child.

To CCF! Nice Peace dollar. Not worth slabbing, as it would cost more to slab than what the coin is worth.
