1923-S Peace Dollar PCGS AU58 VAM 1C “Pitted Reverse” die variety. It bears this name due to there being a rough texture/pitting on and near the “N” in “ONE DOLLAR” on the reverse. The pitting starts at the tip of the tail and works its way up to the third ray protruding from the tail feathers of the eagle. This is one of the Top-50 most popular die varieties on Peace Dollars ("Top 50" set). At time of purchase, the PCGS population reported only 82 total known examples of this VAM, 17 of which graded AU 58 and 45 examples graded higher. At time of purchase, PCGS values coin at $100, but only one known example sold in December 2013 for $165. Purchased for $58.45 ($56 high-bid + $2.45 shipping) in 5-bidder eBay auction 6/16/2022 for Connor. Most of the bids were concentrated in $45-55 range. We had actually bid as high as $138.11 (based on prior sales prices for this variety), and were very pleasantly surprised to win it for just $58.45.

1924-S Peace Dollar PCGS MS64 unlabeled VAM 6 (or maybe equally valuable VAM 3). Seller described as "Nice lightly toned Uncirculated 1924-S Peace Silver Dollar - PCGS MS63! VAM 6!" with doubled lower reverse. "Lightly toned coin with booming mint luster and wonderful eye appeal". Old Blue holder, but the VAM die variety is not attributed on the PCGS label, which would require resubmission to PCGS for attribution, for a fee (which Connor plans to do for this coin). This coin exhibits a long curved die crack on reverse, above the word "PEACE" which extends left onto the eagle's tail, and is characteristic of both VAM6 and VAM3. PCGS population report of 39 total examples (VAM 3). At time of purchase, the regular 1924-S MS63 (non-VAM) retailed $700, and the VAM6 version retailed $750. Seller initially posted this at eBay for $749 buy-it-now, but declined our initial offer for $660 (regular 1924-S MS63 non-VAM versions typically sell $550-650). We reluctantly accepted seller's counteroffer $700 + $4 shipping at eBay 8/7/2022, due to the rarity of the VAM.

1925 Peace $1 PCGS MS64 VAM5 Missing Ray "Top 50" die variety, in old blue holder. Purchased 8/7/2023 at Kelleher auction for Connor, as one of 2 coins in Lot 63. The total lot cost $133.70 total ($110 hammer price + 20% commission + 1.5% shipping), of which $75.70 portion was attributed to this coin. The other coin in lot 63 was 1925 NGC MS61 VAM3 DDR Shoulder valued by us as $58 portion. Connor was prepared to bid up to $180 total for the combined lot ($100 for the VAM5 + $80 for the VAM3), but fortunately won it for only $133.70. At the time of purchase, the VAM5 had a PCGS retail value of $250, but Connor noted prior sales range from only $96 to $120. So buying it for just $75.70 was a very low price!

1926 Peace Dollar PCGS MS63 Top 50 VAM-2. Purchased for Connor 11/22/2023 at eBay for $134.99 (free shipping). Intentionally mounted backwards in PCGS holder, to emphasize the die variety on the reverse. Connor requested to buy-it-now, since it was a new VAM we didn't have yet, and he had waited 3-years for a reasonably priced example to show up on the market. This price was deemed only $10 premium for the VAM, compared to the current market value of a regular 1926 MS63. At the time of purchase, Connor noted there were only 109 examples graded higher at PCGS.

At time of purchase, the PCGS retail value was $300, but prior Heritage auctions went for $329 (in 08/2016), and $376 (in 01/2016) so this was the lowest price on record for MS64, of which there was a low population of just 16 (with only 7 examples graded higher). The real-market value for just a normal 1926-S Peace Dollar without the VAM die variety was $250, so we only paid a small premium ($35 extra) for the VAM feature.

At time of purchase, the PCGS retail value was $300, but prior Heritage auctions went for $329 (in 08/2016), and $376 (in 01/2016) so this was the lowest price on record for MS64, of which there was a low population of just 16 (with only 7 examples graded higher). The real-market value for just a normal 1926-S Peace Dollar without the VAM die variety was $250, so we only paid a small premium ($35 extra) for the VAM feature.

1927-S Peace Dollar PCGS MS63, VAM 3 Doubled Leaves. This is a popular "Top 50" die variety among the VAM die varieties, and the only VAM die variety on 1927-S. On the obverse, there is a vertical die gouge along the back of Liberty's neck. On the reverse, there is slight doubling of some of the leaves at the eagle's feet (look at the leaves closest to the letter "O" of DOLLAR), hence the name "Doubled Leaves". At time of purchase, the total PCGS population for this VAM die variety was only about 50, in all grades combined. The 1927-S year is a semi-key date, and is worth about $450+ even without the VAM die variety. This particular coin (PCGS #14173352) had previously sold for $588 at Heritage auctions on July 7, 2016. We later purchased the coin at eBay 10/6/2020 for $525 from NY dealer AVC-Numismatics. Seller first reduced price by 10% from $650 to $585, and then dropped it again by another 10% to $525 in a time-limited offer. He refused to go lower than $525. So paid $525, but received $5.25 in eBay bucks, so net price $519.75

1928 Peace $1 PCGS MS63, a key date in set. I thought it had slight gold toning. Connor agreed, and questioned if it was possibly once cleaned, but said it's irrelevant since it has problem-free MS63 label in old blue holder. Purchased for $607.72 in Kelleher auction 8/7/2023 (Lot 77, for $500 hammer bid + 20% commission + 1.5% shipping) at Connor's recommendation as good investment, since Greysheet value was $650, and similar coins often sell $700-900

1934 Peace Dollar, PCGS MS64 old blue holder (OBH). Reverse flawed by obvious curved scratch above eagle, which bothered me but not Connor. Obverse flawed by string-of-dings behind Liberty's hair, and splash of tarnish near Y of LIBERTY. Bargained from $265 down to $250 in bundle deal
1934-D Peace Dollar PCGS MS64 CAC. A nice white example (PCGS 7376). Purchased as lot 947 at Pre Long Beach Auction #117 by Ira and Larry Goldberg Auctioneers for successful high bid $320 plus 20% commission plus 1% shipping, for $387.20 total.

Purchased for Connor, since we couldn't go to coin show during covid pandemic. This same coin previously sold for $384 at Heritage auction 7/4/2018 (without a CAC sticker), so we basically bought it at prior owner's cost.

"1935-S Peace Dollar, PCGSM62, mostly white". This was auction Lot 1049 in the Ira & Larry Goldberg online live coin auction No. 122 on June 14, 2021. The presale estimate was $250-275. Purchased for successful high-bid of $275 + 20% commission = $330. No shipping fee (waved as courtesy due to delay in processing invoice). Connor noted the coin is a stellar MS62. Agree it's undergraded, and looks as good as some MS63's we've seen. It should at least be "MS62+", but not worth paying to submit for the "plus" since that would only add $50 to the coin's value. The coin has "PCGS TrueView" photo, but has never previously been sold at auction (per PCGS app). At the time of purchase, PCGS values this coin at $400, but most examples tend to sell for around $350-$390.
