That's a nice DDR of the '39. I have one with a lot of wear and it still shows as clear as yours. MONTICELLO and FIVE CENTS is where the doubling...
All I can say is, it looks like a Reeded edge coin caused that but yet it doesn't. It does appear to be Damage but from what, I can only guess.
You posted asking for opinions and I have you mine.
It adds no value. The V was used on all Peace Dollars. It's known as a "stylized" U. It was common in that time frame.
You may get lucky but not from me. It's on a think planchet and those cut lines sometimes occur. Not worth a dollar to me.
They're zinc coins and they're full of modern problems. Spend them.
At least we don't have Muncie Indiana experts to rely on. I can still see the first T in TRUST. What a bogus article.
When they leave the BEP they're all consecutive. They're all new so only worth face value. To pay more is insane.
Struck from a very worn die. Only worth face value. Welcome to CT.
It's free so who cares?
I agree with Chris.
Looks like MD but the photos aren't the best. It's definitely NAV or no added value doubling. Just worth face value. Welcome to CT.

That's a $25.00 coin. No I didn't leave off a few zeros.
I can only imagine! Lol
In all my years and all the LCS's that I've been to, only 1 of them knew retaliation errors. The rest were their best guess and that was usually...
A very small struck through. NAV on that one.
That's is damaged. Welcome to CT.
Nice looking coins and a great idea to make it easier on your loved ones.
