VAMWorld 2.0

I sure do enjoy and appreciate all the shared insights on this site. keilg1 "The road of good intentions is paved towards... well, not necessarily hell in this instance. But not necessarily where we'd like to go?" Great question. I wish I could share with you all the excitement I felt when I first d...

May be so. I can't find a page like that.

"when is a doubled profile a doubled profile?" I've had similar questions concerning date placement - near, far or slanted? And mint mark position and tilt. My education is a work in progress. As for PUP photos to be added to the VAM listing pages, I think Ihnumis1 has provided a few, especially th...

I am pursuing this interesting area with the equipment and knowledge I have available to me here, at this time. Disappointing and woefully inadequate so far...I was unable to get the http://friture.org with my OS; which is understandable. I did download two other software apps. courtesy of Google. (...

The huge problem is, the 1921-D Die Crack Break Guide is horribly not up to date. Only 77 different VAMs are represented in it, out of the 228 that currently exist. I would like to try and help fix this somehow. Any ideas how I can contribute? I own 3 raw, circulated 1921-D that you folks have seen...

I read some where mustard seeds are very small . lots of metaphors in stories , no matter the source , hopefully for the good and not the other one . nothing exists without its opposite . might have read that some where as well . the edit thing is like peshure on steroids, sorry I'm just babbling :...

@Geseas Ive been thinking about your pictures . looks like one of them had a lot more to eat than the other :lol: . That's the best way I can explain it , I'm not sure why , or how that could be the case . what is the source of the thorn ? the hub or the die? Hey Bob I think it may be a good idea t...

You have that correct. Usually happens on Dennis' 21 photos, and that is real, not a cut. For some reason his photos, sometimes, makes my brain wacko. But he does take great photos.

I remember back when @DHalladay used to take LFCP's. They are some of the best.

I had a big ole post , it was very friendly BTW. I hit post and it disappeared . Jr and I must have posted at the same time . its an old familiar glitch in the php software i think ... I will have to try and write it ay this morning .gain later .... very bus thx Looking forward to you post...please...

HI G , not sure if I'm qualified to make that call . I will have to look at your coin tonight, when not tied up . Duty calls ... quick question , what are the reverses you put on the last page . like what vam numbers? . Right one looks like the Hamilton coin , What is the other one? Yes, the image ...

UNCLE BINGO I think I am having a similar experience with the 1921-S thornhead pg. photos that you are having with the 1880-O Vam-2 photos. Please take a look and compare these two well known Thornheads. They are the same Vam and are pictured on the same page in the catalog. I really concentrated o...

Thank you for setting me straight. UNCLE BINGO I apologize for my assumption. I do not even own the big book, yet. Onward, This photo is of the two Reverses you are comparing? ( I hope I have it right.) 1880-O campare.jpg (I will fill in above photo discription *here*) (Better photos of the above.) ...

Not sure what will happen if you draw lines on this one .. It flat out got me . Dear Bob, I am enjoying your insights... but; You have asked about 3 questions in this one thread... and I am going to attempt to answer them all. :roll: ' An example may be in order here: I have edited this post. I wou...

I can't put my finger on it, but something about this piece bothers me. I'd suggest matching it to a listed marriage before sending it out. http://www.lsccweb.org/BillBugertBooks/Bugert-Vol-IV-NO-Part2.pdf Wow! That is studied coin. Most interesting thread... an added plus. I gleaned some insight i...

well > Having Pinged thousands of samples of a different kind of Metal in my life , just to listen to if it had cracks , you might be on to something .... definitely worth tying in your identification of anomaly. To be somewhat more convincing in reporting your findings you might need another sampl...

Thank you John and RWB.

...Yes, compared to a coin without a lamination error. I am thinking a lot of a lamination error is hidden; kind of like an iceberg.

...maybe the damage on top of 'N' IN GOD is from the same event?

You can infer relative differences, but not absolute. Now, if you could develop this test so that Vampires need only "ping" a coin to determine its variety -- then you'd really have something or should that be "someping?" :D I am downloading the Linux version as we speak. Interesting! Thanks for sh...

Who could have ever guessed that I would be spending my time looking for a Vanilla Plain Jane in a parking lot? Collecting Vam knowledge is a great sport.
