VAMWorld 2.0

@alefzero Thanks for looking. VAM-25 has mark at top inside of 6 that is different, and die scratches in the ear. The reverse clash is about the same spot but not as strong.

Been trough the listing several times. Can’t find exact doubled date or die break that puts pegleg on the bottom of the second 8. Clash on reverse goes to at least midpoint of right side of the n, so obverse letters may be there but metal flow along neck is convoluted. Reverse die cracks on VAM-19 a...

Went to my favorite shop and made an unexpected find. Picked up four raw MS64s, one 1886-P that I have to post later, an 1886-P VAM-1E2, an 1884-O clash I’m still working on and an 1887-P with date/star doubling that has a nice die break above the rear letters. Looked at all the slabs but no clashes...

Did anybody pick the 1880-S VAM-11, PCGS MS62DMPL (A 60315 Lot 52315), or the VAM-9 NGC MS64DPL (A 60315 Lot 52316) from Heritage Auctions last night, 4/17/23? No VAM number was marked on either holder.

Hi, tried to send a PM but still in my outbox so I did something wrong.
Please look at the Suggested changes list at the end of my original series of posts and work with what you can.

Thanks for the help

Hi keilg1 thanks for the feedback. My bad, I missed the messydesk posting of Aug 6, 2022 that stated “Former 7A is 122. Since it’s not related to VAM 7.” However, there are still problems with the pages, and maybe the premise that the -7A is not related to the -7. Also the VAM-122 has not been poste...

The reverse of my coin is close to the -7 page description but that is a little off: “ Reverse C3d – IV S mint mark tilted left with partially filled lower loop and slightly doubled at lower left inside of both loops.” The lower left inside is vague and could refer to VAM-7A. The MM picture below sh...

1880-S VAM-7 Update comments, descriptions, move incorrect reverse pictures to VAM-7A page, add pictures of earlier die state obverse, please I picked up an NGC MS 62 PL 1880-S because of the strong date doubling and was able to attribute it as earlier die stage VAM-7 “Doubled Date, S/S Left inside”...

Looks like a beat up die edge to me. In the die so not PMD. But nothing special as happens a lot.
