1922 (S) Peace Dollar - VAM-1AD

Description

Residing deep within the VAM-1 die family for the 1922 San Francisco Peace Dollar, VAM-1AD carries a compound suffix indicating it was documented after the initial single-letter sub-varieties (A through Z) were assigned, then continued through the AA, AB, AC sequence to reach AD. This progression speaks to the remarkable number of identifiable die states and sub-varieties that researchers have extracted from the 1922-S baseline die combination. Anthony de Francisci's Peace Dollar was struck in 90% silver at 26.73 grams on 38.1mm planchets. For collectors navigating the dense 1922-S VAM-1 sub-variety landscape, careful reference to published diagnostics and comparison photographs is essential for accurate attribution.
