VAMWorld 2.0

I would like to email you some info.
However, I have misplaced you email address; do you have mine.

photo from V-88.
die chip at end of lower cap that is on both 88 and 112

I should have checked my notes because there is some interesting info about the V-112.
Back in November of last year Clay Christiansen said that he believes the V-112m and V-88 have the same obverse.
Maybe Clay will notice this topic and give his opinion.

I looked at wrong line -- tbconcrete has a MS 62 V-112.

Need to have tbconcrete check out his MS61 V-110.
I don't have a V 110 to check.

I think you have hit the jackpot.
Looks like a VAM-112 to me.

Is that a chip in the upper loop of the mint mark?

Gary,
I am having trouble sending you a PM.
My email address is listed in the Members Page. Please email me.
I would like to discuss some 78-S VAMs with you.

your collection has some nice pieces.
How can I get in touch with you?
I have not had much luck with using PM.

The 1st edition VAM book by Leroy Van Allen& A. George Mallis did not have photos of 78-S VAM-16. The 1st edition only listed 78-S VAMs 1 to 11. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions had V-16 photos and one of the reverse photos was with the die gouge on the field. So, the gouge on the field has been known...

Provide photos of the various die states of V-109.
There are plenty of VAM folks here that will give opionions.

In my notes I have order of production as 109, 100, 65, 10.
Don't have notes on what attributes were used to determine this order or where I saw this order.

The II8 obverse of the V-109 is shared with V-10, V-65, and V-100.
My 109 has a very noticeable eye spike.
My V-100 and V-65 have the same noticeable spike but shorter than V-109.
My V-10 is low grade (F12), and I cannot see a spile.
In the photos V-109 and V-65 it looks like two spikes.

Some in 64 and very hard to find in 65.

Thanks for the info. I did find a train schedule that had a page that indicated time between Omaha and SF. It says the time required between Omaha and SF is, for Express Train 4½ days. Did not find anything about Omaha to East coast. The distance from Omaha to SF is 1665 miles. The distance from Oma...

The information about die pairs shipment is listed above: April 8 – 10 pairs dollar dies each, SF and CC Mints April 24 – 15 pairs dollar dies shipped SF May 4 – 15 pairs dollar dies shipped SF; 5 pairs CC These are shipment dates -- I am curious as to when the dollar dies were received at SF. The A...

A month or so ago Clay C identified that 78-S V-88 and V-112. have the same obverse.
I noticed a little while ago that the V-88 and V-112 have not been updated identifying the same obverse.
Is there someone on the forum that has the privileges to do an update.
Thanks in advance.

I would like a 2022 VAM Supplement.

This an excellent find. I agree a V-62.
Mintmark is set higher than normal (but not a high as V-60) and set further left than the other Long Nocks.

Excellent Vamming.
Time consuming investigation proves fruitful again.
