VAMWorld 2.0

@morganman that was a vam 4 eds ngc62dmpl, and i helped get it from logan to ash. and as been said, pl or dmpl is separate from grade. pl and dmpl has to do with reflectivity.

i can see what you see(but could not before) but the gouges in the lower hair are what leroy and i saw.

on other series, we refer to die chips as die breaks. small, or large depending on the size. or are we referring to radial, or curving ones? are not chips where a piece of the die has broken away?

i had an 1878 v14.12 that was anacs au58 dmpl. so i cannot see why not as long as the mirrors are not damaged.

I have a table again and will be there monday-friday.

I would call it improperly annealed die.

78s v96 should never have been removed. I still have the vam 96 79s and it has die gouges in the lower hair that i have never been seen on vam 43.

several vam 13, and vam 11's have been examined< and they were found to be misattributed. i believe the vam 13's were vam 14.4. it's been awhile since we discussed these. a number of coins have been delisted due to improper attributions initially.

fogie VAM 8? well, that surely is interesting. and here i thought this was one of the pieces that i sold to mark kimpton. i have looked at the pictures and wondered about that tripled eyelid. not sure who i talked to about it but i wondered if it was a very well placed and spaced hit. i might see i...

@JackBnimble01 you mean like Libya? i.m sure we could come up with other examples. but it isn't necessary.

wish someone could locate my vam 85 discovery piece. i will try to contact larry briggs about the v104 discovery piece. could the owner of the v91 discovery piece come forward and show it so that could be settled?

I have 2 1878s v96. Every v67/104 that i have seen has the same obverse/reverse markers. All are vam 67 in my book. V85 was my discovery and was sold to mark kimpton eons ago for a pittance but i have no idea who he sold it to. I do not believe that it is possible for vam 91 to exist. I have seen ma...

I am so glad to see that you fuys visited him and that he is well and keeping busy. I also appreciate you showing him the 2021 “morgan dollar”. I see them as glorified silver eagles. I am glad he and i are on the same with them.

Well, all kidding aside, that is a super nice coin. The 1921 morgan 15% M.A.D. Was spectacular. I wish i knew where it was.

Can i get my 1893s blank planchet certified?

Glad you completed the set. I couldn’t remember who needed the vam 4. It slipped my mind with all that i have been dealing with.

A very tough coin. I have only found ONE. Tough, tough coin!

I clicked on the link several times and it wouldn’t open.

Wish i had known about the Schaumburg indian grill. I would have loved trying it. Lots of international food In Schaumburg

wish i could have afforded to keep my v20's. it would have been fun to see them in hand again.
