Description
1934-S Peace Dollar, MS65
VAM-3, Doubled Tiara
A Top 50 Variety
1934-S $1 Doubled Tiara, VAM-3, MS65 NGC. A Top 50 Variety.
Liberty's tiara shows minute die doubling on this variety. The San
Francisco Mint struck just over 1 million Peace dollars in 1934,
but with the lowest Uncirculated survival rate in the series, it is
the key Peace dollar issue in Mint State. Satiny luster on
champagne silver surfaces produce an exceptional cartwheel effect
on this attractive Gem. Tiny splashes of amber, absinthe and
lavender grace both sides, ceding slightly deeper toward the edges.
Abrasions are light and scattered, with only a couple visible under
a loupe on Liberty's neck and on the eagle. All varieties
considered, NGC reports only 17 numerically finer pieces (10/25).
This is one of the finer examples of the VAM-3 variety we have
handled recently.From The Grant Powell Collection.
