<p>[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 58560, member: 1749"]Not sure that it will have an affect on the value. It's not one of the Top 50 Peace dollars. I was just trying to identify the particular variety. There is a 1935-S variety that is known to have a filled S mint mark as seen on your coin. There were three reverse die types used on the Peace dollars. The A reverse was used on all 1921's and 1922 proofs, the B reverse was used from 1922-28 and 1934-1935, the C reverse was only used on some of the 1935-S coins. The variety (VAM 3) that has the filled mint mark used the C reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a photo of the B reverse. It's considered to have three rays under ONE. One goes through the N and the other two are below it. The C reverse has an additional ray. It sounds like this is what you have... a C reverse and probably a VAM 3 with a filled mint mark. The VAM 3 is known as the "extra ray". You might be able to check completed auctions on ebay to see if it has a premium over common value. Personally, seeing it was the only year/mint that used this reverse... and the mint is filled.... I think it's pretty cool.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gmavt.net/~nesvt/1926S_4_REV.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
