VAMWorld 2.0

...like @UNCLE BINGO said, it's a hard thing to get your brain around. upside down and backwards. I think I was helped by being dropped a few times

Great thread for learning here!

Isn't it a reverse mirror for overlay?

And by VAMPIRE I hope you mean taking pictures of mirrors with no reflection , or glare or out of focus, and very pretty cause that is what MR . D can do , and he does it very well ! Yes Bob, that is exactly what I meant. The other was my feeble attempt to promote the digital camera instead of a sc...

Because I don't have one and Dennis's scope takes way nice pictures so wanted to be sure . Dennis sure does take way nice pictures... are you sure he is using a scope? as in micro scope. I am not sure...Things change quickly in technology. Thanks Bob, congratulations on your ID! You are becoming a ...

Hi G i love the "mistakes "that came out of the mints . I've got a unicorn on my hit list now . Maybe a cool clashed vam number in a holder attributed with a side of partial collar mint error added just for fun .... I've seen few while searching this topic for sale , now i just got to find just the...

...Bob, I grabbed your question from above; hope its OK to do: @Geseas is yours a reversed partial collar, or undulated or something else ? All I can think of now is putting a 1/2 lb. of burger into the press. When you squeeze down the round ball of the burger, (the hammer unto the anvil with burger...

...I am curious what the edge view photo of this coin would look like.

any guesses? Thanks in advance.

The key to this partial collar business is that Edge View Photograph; as JB states above.

It is one worn coin.

Here is a photo of a regular 1921-S coin edge... for comparison:
abt. same circ. wear.

...coin edge photos are not easy; but it may be the New unexplored Frontier for Vams.

Ya I searched partial collar on the VW wiki page and it brought that up . I was just confused as to what partial collar actually was . My 92-P is not , i'ts just struck a little off center...as far as I know every V3 could be a little bit off center strike , very extensive doubling on it . I mean y...

My apologies , as you can see i need to actually read everything while searching and not just look at the pictures... off center strike and partial collar are in fact two separate things . :lol: http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/Partial_Collar sorry for the confusion Than...

Thanks you guys for getting me on the right path again. I think the DPIS will prove to be a great tool. Maybe think about putting it into the Definitions page with a link? Just a thought.

I believe I have some explaining to do... I was not familiar with the DPIS system and wanted to give it a try with UNCLE BINGO as my mentor. I grabbed a photograph of a Morgan date; cropped the photo to show just the base crossbar of the 'ONE' and the denticles underneath. I posted this and then rea...

I noticed my mistake. I will fix. Thanks JR

I was trying to find a sample coin with the LEB1 and the REB1 were between the denticles. This one has to be close...

@UNCLE BINGO No problem at all. Vamworld is here to help with stress also.

I have not determined the DPIS of the above pictured '1'. On the perpetual learning curve... Thanks for any comments.

i Like the DPIS , although it is not really something my brain carries around with it quite yet , it is better and more scientific in my own feeble mind than the subjectivity involved in MM placement . Thanks from one of the new guys ! edit typo :) Hey Bob. Lets try one [1]! You first. (I have bett...

I agree. LE4RH5.

Got it! Thanks John.

Stuff like this is the exact reason I prefer the DPIS . For this example, I'd call it LE4RH5 . This is new to me. Could anyone suggest a way for me to learn more about this? (for a simple person) :) Thanks for a great site! * http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6141&p=51376&hilit=dpis...

Does not appear genuine to me. Seems counterfeiters are getting pretty specific. Well done, Mark, JB, Dennis, et all - this is a next generation counterfeit. Imagine once they start making these out of silver. Or even melted down Morgan dollars. Or artificially, giving them the appropriate bag mark...
