REVERSE: My coins match the die break from D to wing to rim and laurel leaf to wing to S as seen in the Occ FCR and page pics, however the laurel leaf to wing to S is not yet developed on the RonH Coin and Plate FCR. 1897-P V11 Misaligned die rev pinch A031 - 20220622_195638.jpg 1897-P V11 misaligne...

Based on die wear this VAM-11 is a later die state than the two RonH FCP on the page, both of which are well centered. The Acc version does show some die migration but not nearly as much as this one. I am trying to figure out if the obverse die was loose and retightened off center or if it was remov...

S is Centered, upright and set low

Your 1882-S has a centered very low MM tilted left

Thanks for the 'official' reason. Nice find!

Thanks for the clarifications on this messydesk. None of these tasks are simple edits. We all have a lot of work to do to 'adjust' the many similar issues that are in each Date/MM list. Is there still an experts list so we can consult on this? The criteria for adding a new VAM has improved over the ...

Yup, you are correct. For at least one of the multiple die sets and ours isn't explained. I let the Die set 2 pictures with lots of polishing lines confuse me again. I just cropped some features from the RonH FCPs and they match what would be die set 1 but don't show the detail in the date needed to...

Doubled motto. Doubled ear inside right and left.

Picked this flashy lady up raw as nicely struck and thought I saw doubling in the six. Looking closer there appears to be slight doubling in the 1 and tripling in the 896 plus other interesting features. The 1896-P page has a shorter list than most and I went through all of them without finding this...

Thanks! Worried it was my slow internet speed.

I am trying to setup a new post and receive this message when attempting to add pictures:

There are two 1881-S Morgan dollars that have been driving me crazy for years. Take them out, try to attribute from VAMWorld pictures, get frustrated, put them back in the bank. I posted one to no avail as there are quite a few known and undiscovered die pairs. The second will be posted soon as the ...

Congratulations! The fun part is reaching the goal. The question is what's next?
