VAMWorld 2.0

Selling can be rather arduous when you have an enormous accumulation. I started with thousands of slabbed (mainly) Morgan VAMs in late 2004. Figured I would sell them out in a few years. I am now down to a under couple double-row boxes. Not easy and definitely was not profitable overall. Some did ve...

Having never held one, does it specifically have a marking as "copy" or something of the kind on it? My first thoughts were that I was surprised by the listing premium on eBay given that they are essentially "fantasy" coins My second thoughts were that if they are not marked, then once cracked out ...

Well............... Speaking of tokens as we were, what about the Dan Carr Morgans struck each year. I think I remember that these are actually struck on existing Morgan Dollars. This is another question since I thought I understood that only the obverse was restruck to change the date. Legal? Sect...

Yeah, not likely to be seen again. The Mint wouldn't typically restrike using dies sitting on the shelf for 137 years. Very cool.

:popcorn: Finally something to work with & assuradly will be a work in progress Thanks to all involved Carry on good men !!!! It is designed to be dynamic also. So it will always be in progress. Those with attention on the market will be able to react to observed changes and relate them in the pric...

Where do I find. Vam value guide on site?
Thanks larry

Regrettably, I will not be there. Cancelled my flight Tuesday afternoon. But for those who are going, my table will have two outstanding members of the VAM community in my stead. Stop by 313 for sure.

More generally, I have wanted to find the time to use cascading menus for look ups. Just need the time to put together and test the javascript to do it (unless someone has a canned thing already). Preserving state would be another task, but possibly doable. The change, however, is at that client end...

I dumped the WCF variety prefix and changed the variety descriptors to be more natural. I would propose that we decide at FUN what varieties to specifically include. Anyone who wants input, come prepared. We can add Friendly Eagles and even Peg Legs, if people want them. (I expect Brian and John R w...

Got my grades for the 10 CC and 10 O Privy Morgans. CC has 8 70s and 2 69s. O has 7 70s and 3 69s. Will have to look at the TrueViews later to see if there are any interesting features. 1 1 X 877717 2021-CC Privy $1 Morgan Dollar 100th Anniversary First Strike MS70 USA 2 1 X 877717 2021-CC Privy $1 ...

In addition, new files are not displaying correctly. Check out the new VAM page for the 1921-P VAM-3AA1 and look under additional photos. That is interesting... there's a live link to the correct photo, but the photo itself isn't displaying. I hope John C. wanders by and can fix that. I am not an a...

The majority of the 70s (being the majority thus far graded) were advance release. I do not know the deal with those, just that they are. They were big bulk orders, unavailable to us peons. Apparently they also were allowed to be submitted with grade and holder only at 70, something also unavailable...

The 21-D will be the king of the release. Has some messed up strikes too. Can't wait to see my grades and TrueViews. Didn't look at any of them before submission. Just dropped them off.

I added it, John.

I will be at FUN, and can examine them there.

Then I will bring them. See you there!

So your VARslabs should increase in volume significantly, with the already slabbed reverse labeled. My presumption is that JR will do his as part of the grading process and would simply add the attribution to the labels, and would do the honors of easily transferring the discovery provenance of your...

C-1 and C2 look an awful lot alike, and C-4 is just funny! They are VERY close upon initial inspection. The tilts of the Cs and other die markers differentiate them. The easy discriminator is where the first C is relative to the lower serif of the S in GRAINS. C-1: Large CC set slightly right, slan...
