1922-D Peace Dollar

So, what do ya'll think. . . Die Crack? Grade? Both assuming my pictures aren't too crappy.

@DUNK 2, that looks like a long scratch, as it looks cut into the surface.

 

Let's say, forgiving the scratch, MS63? For the coin contacts...

 

OK, here's the quick reveal. I got this coin for about $32. The seller's puffery made it worth the price!

 

Yes folks, I got a $550 coin for $32!

 

"Puffery?" That rises to fraud! Lol. Good buy, there...

 

I don't know if I call it "MS65;" the images are indicative of a maybe-circulated coin. It'd have to be at the very top of 65 to be worth the money quoted on the flip.

What it is, though, is what looks to be a revision/clarification of VAM-2BJ, noted by the circular die crack at the bottom of the neck and the clear collar clashing on the reverse. I expect to see a die gouge below the L in LIBERTY on this one (which I don't) and VAMworld shows that collar clash much less prominent than it is here. As a service to VAMming it'd be worth spending a few bucks to shuffle it off to @messydesk for attribution and imaging - the details noted above strongly clarify the variety, and it's worth noting whether the marks at ER are scratches or cracks.

Hmmm, I'm not a VAMer so I'll be curious what @messydesk has to say. Anything beyond enjoying the MS65 puffery for $32 will be a bonus!

Thanks @SuperDave!

 

Is this the die gouge below the L mentioned by @SuperDave?

 

Blown up a bit.

 

VAM 2BJ2. The obverse field gouge and reverse collar clash are both present.

 

Did I do ok at $32? And is this a relatively common VAM?

 

If it's uncirculated, you did OK. No idea if it's common or rare, but there's not enough demand for it to matter.

 

Nice hair detail
