VAMWorld 2.0

@davidkclose, I know you're a rocking busy person but any way you could glance at this to relieve my (self-induced) stuckness? Or any other Peace gurus?

My comment was more generic than specific. As an outsider to VAMs, I see so much knowledge, information, skills and possibility among experienced members. Yet, together almost nothing is done to understand and respond to potential new enthusiasts....or to capture and stimulate those who venture to ...

Agree with @PacificWR, a HUGE thank you @RogerB for all you've done and are doing (and, ahem, will do for many many many years to come?).

I think you're on to something... and your pictures might help others down the road. Keep looking for those VAM-4s as they are out there!

Sorry, I disagree. No doubling of the ear or hair above the ear that I can easily see - but maybe this is simply the angle/light of the photos. I also don't see any doubling of the eyelid. Here are two close up pictueres from an ANACS verified coin that might help you: 1902-P_V4_2xear_details_GRed.j...

And.... the results are? What did you VAM it to be? Curiosity is lingering around me on this, too... I think I have my guess but without addtional pictures (bow, trust, etc.) it's a wild guess. What say ya, mts ... ya wanna throw us some bones to chew on (oh, and keep helping you ID this lovely one)?

Thanks, jrfaust . I agree that crack lines don't equate to new listings but the recent changes a long time in the coming indicate we're heading toward die marriages versus generic descriptions with or without the use of differing die numbers (things like 36.1, 36.2, or die #1, die #2, etc.). A crack...

J'ai mal à la tête... After giving it a non-darkside gipper go, I've failed to ID the variety on not the worst Peace dollar cracking potential year and mint combo, but I feel like it is... ANY benevolent and gracious help from eyes and heads more resilient to this stuff would be greatly appreciated....

Thought I submitted this earlier but it didn't show up. So... I used to live in Toronto around the time the sitcom "Friends" was really popular. I used to get stopped on the streets and asked for my autograph as I supposedly looked like Matthew Perry. Is this a positive mis attribution? Might be unt...

And a yummy rusty cracker at that... nice one!

Ah, duh, hub issue not die-related - I remember that now! Makes sense. Sorry I failed to mention the comment about clashing was about VAM-200. Nice reminder that the VAM-145 might have additional fun to find. Here are FCOs for the two VAM-145s I own that both show clash lines but not necessarily let...

Really depends on the grade, right? I have a PCGS40 coin so I'd like to know, too, but I suspect no real premium on mine. Anything above an AU53 would be scarce according to SSDC registry numbers?

Sorry if this has been asked before. Curious if there's any speculation or study about the ordering of VAMs 31/40/110/162/200 with the lovel 'broken N & M' obverse? The 40 and 200 lack the crack from the denticle through the first left star to the neckpoint, 145 and 162 start to show it, and 31 and ...

Welcoming you in, too. Helping educate is part of the process so often you might not get your answer directly. This is to 'help you fish', if you will, instead of giving you fish to eat. (Or just providing the beer that always goes along with the activity...) Best guide is the engraved feather regio...

Brilliant but another frustration of the VW1.0 to VW2.0 switch. Not everything could be carried over. Might mention it was a VW1.0 verification but, then again, might not matter. As long as it was it should help clarify the differences between the two.

Thanks, Gary

A lovely coin for sure. I was lucky to snag a ANACS53 coin in the past and even at this worn condition it shows all the wonderful features. I'm still looking for a higher grade to see the features even more clearly! And, yes, I did pay a bit extra for it because I've found it a more difficult coin t...

Thanks but how can they be duplicate listings if they're described differently? VAM-12 has the 'entire date doubled' while VAM-34 only has doubling of the 18?

As caught, they share the same reverse but that's not a duplicate listing?

Sorry if I've read this incorrectly.

Curious, albeit nervous, following this post. I agree with ljs123 about being cautious here trying to define or redefine listings based on single coins. Fairly clearly differentiated by text even if the wording is differently arranged: VAM-10: "Date set further left than normal. Second 8 doubled top...

Awesome sauce...

To confirm, though: @messydesk, you do not need me to send mine to ya?

@keilg1 Hope you are having a great vacation! Wishing you safe travels! I only had the one 1880S but I sent with a few more to be attributed. Mine just arrived at Barrington IL Post Office today. Looking forward to the results! @fogie @messydesk JB, would you still like mine to be sent after I arri...
