Please see the reverse of my 1926-D Peace Dollar. Notice what appears to be a die scratch running through 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the eagles head. Is this a known VAM? I looked on VAM Finder, and they list 6-7 vams for this mintage, but only have diagnostic pictures for 3 of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, AJ
If it's raised on the coin, then it could be a die gouge or even a break. I'd be inclined to rule out the die gouge because it is visible on the devices as well. Ordinarily a gouge would damage only the surfaces of the field and not the incuse devices on the die. Can you provide better close-ups so that we can see if it is raised? Chris
