VAMWorld 2.0

Thanks Wayne

That does belong to the V54. The major doubled ear for V54 is a one & done marker. But this feature on the 2 in the date repeats. I tired to upload it to the page, but will need help.

So Brent's post of photos show small die chips at the left outside of the top left wreath cluster on VAMs-2 & 6, same as listed for the VAM-1A. But neither VAM-2 & 6 have this feature in the listing. So this raises a few questions. Why aren't they listed for these two VAMs? How many more 1896-S VAMs...

Brent, nice photos of PUPs for both the VAM-2 & 6!

Thanks all. Mitch, I do not move or delete anyone's coin photos based on past history on this site. That being said, I can provide any coin(s) out of my reference set with all the LVA documentation if someone wants to work things out. Besides, the subject VAMs are pretty tame. In my estimation, none...

Since Brent seems to be going thru his 1902-O coins and posting photos, I thought I would share the questionable photos I see on the VW pages as follows:

Brent, the coin you show above is what Leroy called the VAM-28. The VAM-35 is a C4 reverse. The VAM-28 is a C4/C3 reverse. Hope that helps.

Looks like a VAM-45. The die cracks are a dead give-away. But for the purists, the small gouge at the back of the eye is a one & done marker for any die states.

Sorry, but I am traveling and won't be back to the Scott Dungeon to look at my stash of 1902-Os until Dec 3rd or so. The V66A was listed by a John Coxe coin, so I don't have the VAM Plates for the V66A. But I can look at my coins when I get back into town on the 3rd. Best to ping me with a PM or res...

Not a V8/V8A. The coin has seen too many parking lots for me to try and help.

I for one thank you for this.

Thanks Wayne. Since you are doing a die study, likely you will connect all the dots in this series. There is a LOT of stuff to be listed in the 1900-S series. Let me know if I can be of any help. But looks like you don't need it

Well, I have the obverse die of V28 at the end of a three die pair marriage string. I believe it started in a VNA die marriage. It was then removed and polished, which I believe caused the "date doubling" of the VAM-8, and tentacles (if the scratches thru the date are the tentacles you mention) and ...

Thanks Wayne. Just trying to make sense of the V16, V22 and now the V28/28A. It helps, kinda.

Wayne, just curious, can you show the date placement for a V16 and the new V28?

Very cool. Wonder if they will be slabbed with the "name" of the hoard? Maybe there is a 02-O V90A in there

Hey Wayne. If you have a VAM-16, cross check the new VAM-28 against it.

Does anyone have a 1901-P with the scratch at the neck of the VAM-13 but without the reverse die gouges of the VAM-22? If so, I could use some high resolution LFCPs. Thanks in advance.

If you know Cindi, she is the best!! Glad it finally worked out for you.

When I saw this 1902-O VAM-25 (Hit List 40 coin), I had to have it.
