Is This a Die Crack Error on this Peace Dollar?

OK my friends, “my bubble got popped” with the very helpful realization here on CT that it is PMD in the area of the hair.

So is there a die crack error from the top of the 1 across the bottom of the neck?

Does this increase the value of this coin that already has PMD?

I don't think it is the 2AN. Note that it is higher above the date in the plate photo.

 

There's 3 listed, with the neck die break .

Die crack at bottom of the neck, but die cracks aren't errors.

 

Just part of the vam game ...

 

It is none of these as well.

 

Not this one either.

 

I used to collect VAM's, and I stopped for two reasons. One was because of the plethora of "Scribbles" that were being submitted for authentication and attribution. The other was that die cracks such as these that were heretofore unacceptable as VAM's were now being attributed. It's like the "crack-out and resubmit" game that some people play to get a better grade.

 

VERY VERY interesting! Thanks for sharing and educating me! I really sincerely do appreciate your help!
