Re: 1878 S VAM 36 B DRAGON SCALES
Great job pickin Bert; My next challenge for you is: 1878 S vam 18A Good Luck my friend I have a sneaky suspicion that he has one (or more) already. If not, I'll gently remind him/us what the radial die crack looks like. This picture if from my NGC61 coin... not the best lighting (sorry) but a dand...

Re: 1882 O 38B WOW O/O?? HELP
One of my favorite coins! To the point of attempting a bit of holiday fun in the past: http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5980&p=50301 . The PCGS 64 I have on hand looks to be in a similar die state as yours. I don't apparently see the same potential O/O: 82Ov38B P64 mm detail GRed.jp...

Re: 1878s VAM-109
I'll take your rant accusing me of being some kind of elitist (let alone an abusive anything) as some profound hurt and frustration you're harboring - and choose to not reply in any fashion that doesn't help the conversation. I requested pictures from you to help... as did LateDateMorganGuy and lewi...

Re: 1885-S VAM-6 Denticle Impressions?
Nothing from me. I'd simply like to have an 85-S with as much luster and lack of wear as this one appears to have. Tough to find above circulated grades, eh? Oh, wait. I do have one! A CAC NGC64... here's the same area.
I don't see anything, sorry.

Re: 1878s VAM-109
If there is a coin with eye spikes that look 'absolutely nothing' like the VAM-109 plate picture, the coin is not a VAM-109. (Please note I'm choosing to not textually 'yell' back at you with capital letters - 8-) - let's all keep our cool here, eh?) The FCP and other pictures of the VAM-100 (the ne...

We all have a choice to post or continue a post - or not. We'll support your decision whatever it might be. I, personally, encourage learning from these experiences, not giving up. To me your question and follow up questions were ambiguous so you received different answers than you expected. I caugh...

Re: Please consider for DISCOVERY
Combining many thoughts and threads into one posting. Using phrases like "Buck up mate" will not advance ANY conversation. Please everyone stop with this type of banter. We all need to be careful with our words - 'Please consider for discovery' is a lot different than 'Hey, anyone seen something lik...

Re: Cool 1884-O
Hi cheezbean . Unless you can get better pictures I'm afraid you're not going to get much help. I can't tell if this is PMD (post-mint damage) or something else. Plus, without seeing the date placement and a few other details it will be impossible to help narrow down a potential identification. Look...

Can't be a VAM-2 because you have at least a doubled 82. Keep looking!

Zing and ca'ching. Stellar pick - and one I'm STILL hunting for. Had a bit on one last year only to be outdone.
Congrats, my friend.

You're questions are good ones, my friend.

Re: Really Strange Luster
In the field of woodworking you can get wickedly cool swirl patterns when applying oil or epoxy to pieces and spinning them with a blow dryer directly above. These remind me of those... Not saying this is the case on this coin, but if the patterns don't disappear when seen under different lighting, ...

Re: Interesting 1879-P
Sorry to say the pictures are not clear enough to make any definitive statements to me. The only thing I can see is significant damage across all areas - the wavy forms are damage from the reeded edges of other coins smashing into it, there are pronounced scratches (and long ones, at that) - in fron...

As much as I love this, it would be nice to find a 113, you know, to enjoy something not broken?

Re: OT: Whoops!
Don't know if I'd be happy with the "fair offer":
Seriously?
allowing him to keep the cleaned coin and receive a payment of about 70 per cent of the coin’s insured value plus a full refund for postage and other fees
Seriously?
