Description
1921-P Peace VAM-3 Ray through "L" Discovered by Joe Lanzo, June 1999. This coin is a Top 50 Peace Dollar VAM. '''3 I 1 · Ac (Rays on Top of LL) ''' '''Reverse Ac–''' Two rays strengthened by an engraver in vicinity of LL in DOLLAR. This resulted in ray over horizontal bar and right top tip of left L and over lower left tip on right L instead of normal letters over rays. (Master die has evidence of engraver’s touch up with five engraving lines on top tail feather, short engraving lines on lower serifs of E in ONE and LLAR in DOLLAR, top serifs of UNITE ST-TE F AMERI E U-I-U LLA, and long curved engraving line on top right of D in UNITED.) '''Comments:''' '''1.''' One of the original rays in the high relief version of the Peace dollar was re-engraved so it passes through the first "L" in "DOLLAR" rather than under it.
