Re: Site maintenance

Thanks all for the input. I understood it as Mitch does. Are the supplements in play (aside Volumes 1&2)? Brent, I would LOVE to help out, sadly it's a permission thing, or something. Not as "open" a forum as Version 1.0 for edits. Also, Things like this irritate me...(who exactly defined this as "D...

Re: any 1886-O experts?

My opinion is LVA likely would have considered the date normal or high :/ maybe a high 6 MM. (likely) centered and upright Check the MPD listing against your secondaries. Doubt your going to find those exact TF scribbles, unless you can see the lower layers by turning it in different lighting ;) Tha...

Re: Authenticity of 1891-CC Morgan

I wouldn’t panic just yet, wait until you get it in hand.

All I will say right now is looks cleaned/details…

Pics suck so see if you can nail the variety in hand

What’s the seller info look like? Longstanding? How many items sold?
Seller rating etc?

Site maintenance

Since the site has limited folks to edit and based on user confusion of late My question/issue is: Where are the plate shots? I feel like if actual plate shots were at the top (where they are supposed to be) of each listing, it would eliminate a lot of “what VAM do I have” problems. Just curious if ...

Re: 1921-S Morgan dollar VAM-1BF

Hmmm is right.

I’m thinking die state duplicate listings, but I’m doing this on a handheld device…

Look for remnants of any V 1AN secondary markets.

Can you get a better shot of the obv neck clash pls
NO arrows or circles. As crisp a shot as you can.

Re: My Every Two Year ANACS Submission Returns

Quite right, nice group of high $$$ varieties. My intention was not to highjack the post, it was more the comment I had with my photo that got lost here. I highly recommend selecting Conservation services, on any order that contains questionable coins, I wager it would have been worth every penny ju...

Re: Seeing stars (and more) - can you guess the VAM?

It IS possible that example exists, but how many? (Maybe 2 or 3 pieces struck after the clash and press shutdown...)
Perhaps one made it into the bucket, it's just a matter of finding it.

I know I have been surprised by stages "that simply do not exist", yet there it is. :shock:

Re: Peace Dollars

There is an annual update to the encyclopedia, with additions, subtractions and corrections. This site is probably the best collection of variety photos you are going to find. As far as pricing goes, you can join the SSDC and have access to another whole level of dollar collecting and information. H...

Re: TPG SERVICE FEES

It should be no secret as to the 8 to 12 weeks, for VW members…

JR mentions how busy he is just about weekly. Theses coins are 100+ years old, what’s a couple more months to get them in plastic?

Of course I’m not looking to flip any of mine, so I roll with it…

Once again The reverse “doubling” you are marking is flat and shelf-like. It is not a doubling from the die It’s MDD. Machine/Mechanical Die Doubling and should be ignored for attributions.

I can make gold toning like that happen…
