VAMWorld 2.0

I agree that it’s best to post after you receive the coin.
However; I think you are pretty new to VW.
It may be appropriate to give you a pass.
Now more people know.
Have fun with VAMs and keep on posting your coins.
Welcome to VW.

Hard to tell from your photos, but I may have an idea for your coin.
Is that a crack from the back of the head to the M in UNUM?
Also, is there any crack through the date?
Can you take close up photos?

Nothing to be sorry for.
I was guessing that you knew what it was.
That’s why I didn’t blurt it out.
I like the clashed Gs.

It’s not a VAM-23.

Knife cuts in the coin. Yes This is a question that comes up on a semi regular basis. Let’s say it was a knife cut that made the X. As the blade pushes into the coin, metal is displaced upward. As the coin continues to be worn with use, the raised metal smooths out and hides the groove that was cut...

Sure
I have also had lots of hatred dumped on me when I have tried to nicely explain to a seller on eBay that their VAM attribution was incorrect.

Great photos
C3 it is.

Could you please show close up photos of the reverse?
Your LFCP looks like a C4 reverse from what I can see.
If I am correct, your coin can not be either a VAM-26 or 32. Both 26 and 32 are listed as C3 reverses.

Some VAMs have great nicknames - like the Ghost of Carson City. Others do not - they may just say Double Stars or something like that. Is there a process to suggest new nicknames? Thanks in advance Pardon my ignorance, but what VAM is the Ghost of Carson City? When I think of VAM nicknames they are...

Dennis,
I did several crack maps going back to the first VW.
But 90. Man I tip my hat to you. 90 is a real labor of love. Or maybe a labor of madness.
You take your pick.

WTG Dennis and Brent

I knew the date from your screen name
Very nice pick

I can't complain with the results of my sales. I sold several pretty nice Double Eagles.

They are still creeping up.

Take a look at all the Double Eagles. I have several for sell ending tonight.

@messydesk Is there a misprint on the official listing? The listing says Far Date, but the photo says near date. Congratulations on the DC. Cut and paste error on the discovery letter. The text on VAMWorld is correct. Wow, JB is human. Who knew. But really, thanks for all you do. You’re awesome JB!
