VAMWorld 2.0

Thanks for the comments, a nice VAM I am really happy to have located. Likely send it in with my next slabbing bunch to ANACS.

More photos....

It can't really be called a "pick" as the dealer website said it was heavily clashed. But if a person can't find an 1889 VAM 23a, this might be the next best thing? Will add a few close-up photos as I can.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and safe travels in your holiday ventures.

And that, fellow VAMmers, is the result of having done a die study..... well done!

Not seeing it in hand, it still has the look of a coin that was placed in a vise, bent a little , and bent back to flat. Seems a cud would have a crack line more evident, especially on a coin in higher grade. Just this guys opinion.....

Nice new VAM listing - if it wasn't counterfeit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1891-s-morgan- ... Sw1nZdtPT3

Visited your web site, amazing work you have done for that date / mm.

The amazing part was I was able to VAM it.... I did mention it came from the bay of E.... LOL

Nice looking coin, Chris. I really like that toning..... I didn't get this one from the junk bin, but off the bay of E. I recently decided with my growing collection of 1891 o Morgans that I should venture to the low ball side for my set. Grabbed a Fr-02 to increase my graded range of the date from ...

The only normal date / mm set high is VAM 8, but it also lists a doubled ear which these 2 examples do not have. Seems to be unlisted.

Have 2 examples of this one, normal date, centered mm, but many gouges in bow area and another in the olive leaf area. Doesn't match anything in my set of 91o Morgans, but is it a VAM 1 or does it need to get looked at?

Going through my 1891 o unknown stack of Morgans, noted 2 coins with normal slanted date position and high mm location...but both have an open 9 in the date. There is an open 9 VAM listing (VAM 2) with a photo that looks slanted but is not noted as such. VAM 2 also lists the mm as centered and these...

I guess that's well above my computer intellect.... hate to not be able to work on the 1891 o pages, but oh well............

What does one need to do to be allowed to update VAM pages? A different log in?

Looks better than my photos, but likely too baggy to get above AU

Busy show for a Friday. Picked a few in the little time I had before heading to work. Hard to ever pass up a thornhead, so I added another 1B6b to my handful of thorns. Then from the lower grade pile, a 78s long nock, VAM 27. Picked up a high AU 1899o for the clash marks, turned out to be VAM 14a2 w...

I opted not to post it about a month ago over on the BST page. http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2425 It is a VAM 15b, same late die state as the coin shown in the second photo on the 15b page. I almost grabbed it for my set, but other things consume my funds currently. LVA won't cal...

Nice picks, always fun to get to look through some unpicked Morgans.

Found one of these a couple weeks ago in lower grade. Not as late die state but found the reverse denticles to be really interesting, almost look like small beads attached to the inner part of the rim. Neat VAM.... and I really like the one posted here, very nice coin.
