My Guide Book to Peace Dollars gives no premium whatsoever for this variety. It must be a very common one. If unslabbed $26 or so. Slabbed maybe $35 or so.
With time and patience, it is likely that a seller of this coin could double (perhaps more) your slabbed estimate, even if only because of the attributed PCGS slab. While your "Guide Book to Peace Dollars" may be a fine general type reference, care should be taken if using it to make variety-specific value assumptions. OP, With a variety such as this, and particularly in this grade, you would obviously need to connect with the "right" buyer to achieve a reasonable premium. The best thing this example has going for it (IME) is the slab, which should allow for the opportunity to bring the best premium possible. Being as this is your question and/or coin, I suggest that you do a little research with the hopes of discovering end and/or asking prices as this should give a reasonable expectation of value and/or a fair asking price. To start you off: -ANACS MS63 (eBay): $98 BIN/MO
I was debating whether to buy this from my LCS for $60, but I've decided not to. Thanks very much for your help!
My Guide Book for Everything (ebay) says last 2 like your sold for: -MS62 PCGS $117 (BIN) -MS63 NGC for $63 (auction)
I was using the Guide Book as a comparator, and I thought that was intuitive. A quick check of EBay confirms my assessment. The Premium for an unslabbed 1A variety is minimal over the regular unslabbed 1922 coins.
I did not question your use of said book, sir, and only suggested it may be wise to dig deeper before basing a variety value assumption off of one reference. The subject of this thread is not a raw example, so the quick check of eBay should have refuted said assessment. Regardless of if you, I, or anyone else agrees, the fact that the coin shown by the OP is not only certified, but residing in attributed PCGS plastic, which absolutely can made difference to the right buyer.
