VAMWorld 2.0

I was hoping I wouldn't need a big red line to indicate where a crack is...I was thinking; with today's Technology. ...I am Not talking about this: LP-825x340.jpg ZyGlo Rather, a series of photos with varied light only. Similar to the layer thingy mentioned: GCS4120.JPG GCS4121.JPG GCS4122.JPG Stack...

It happens Dennis...it's called 21-crackanitus.
I know... I've had it before.

I have it now... D1. @DHalladay When do you expect arrival of this coin?

Dennis, I believe I have that coin right here:You have to really squint...

Now that is much better , I can agree VAM 2AP .. Your gouge can be common do to clashed die . [/b] Thank you for photos and insight. I have a question with, "Your gouge can be common." How is this determined? I own nine 1922-P I am looking at now. I see a hint of something going on in that area; on...

Lurch29165 You have peaked my interest, especially that 1922 you mentioned. I am a little confused on overlay business. Here is a photo attempt of what is considered/accepted a +5 degree overlay: plus 5 degree attempt.jpg ...it is about 5'. (I put a protractor on the screen) Note: my drawing above ...

The field on the Peace Dollar obv., under the R in LIBERTY and above hair ; is that area studied much as a clash area? Those die file lines in your first photo are there for a reason. This photo of a 1923-S VAM-1M obv. has a lot going on in that area, also 1923-S VAM-1R obv. I know you are familiar ...

Clogged, cracked and over used die. No rust. Thanks for bringing this to my attention RogerB . I just looked over the 23-S VAM photos and found the word "rust" was not mentioned by Leroy. He used the word "pitted". Their is a difference in my opinion. Here are a few of his examples: 1923-S_VAM-1P_P...

Could be VAM 1Ci. The photos are in the VAM updated , but there is no clear die marker other than the die wear/rust spots, and late die state of many dies have this feature with a similar pattern. Thanks davidkclose , is the VAM updated a supplement? Not much for die markers only this die crack/bre...

Hello everyone. I have been attempting to attribute this 1923-S. Please take a look at this obverse; could we be looking at a VAM-1Ci? I have not been able to locate a photo for a comparison...yet. Thank you for any comments! gcs_1923-S.jpeg A couple photos close-up: GCS3909.jpg GCS3913.JPG GCS3894....

Isn't it 'obvious', he's the one with the loupe!...

I believe you are right! That loupe looks like a Belomo 10x!

We are on the same page; shrouded in mystery; kind of like these coins we study

I've heard stories about a Cascade Chris, but I thought they were a myth.

I looked into it. It's not a myth... In my opinion.

keilg1 You have flushed out my underlying reasons for mentioning this poll option thing within your thread. A poll is powerful tool with a variety of applications including a possible use here with this data quest. It seems rarely used in Vamworld and when it is used, there is very little participa...

Who amongst the VAM goddesses and gods would/should be involved with this - or is it likely to go by the wayside as a good thought left unrealized? I'm happy to help although my IS/IT skills are somewhat limited. I'll promise to make up the deficit with humor. ;-) keilg1 Thank you Doctor for your t...

Kinda like a face Recognition for coins. Maybe putting a lazer eched serial number on the individual coin.

I think you are right, photos taken here 'are' that lazer.

<poll>
Have you lost a coin to shipping piracy?
Yes
No
</poll>

...I think something may be hiding in plain site on me again

I have read that the 'polling attachment thingy' requires a dedicated maintenance?

thanks for this great site.!

This Discussion Forum has a great search engine I am just learning how to use. Try just the word, acetone with it. I have been trying to figure out how to use the stuff along with other folks here; without damaging the silver.
Welcome to site!

That is the knowledge I gleem here on vamworld 2.0. A lesson on communicating clearly with others and using this machine to do so. I sure appreciate this. Coins are kind of the best metaphor when you take on this kind of view.

A ' noob ' injection.....That statement could be interpreted many different ways...What I was after: The location of the definition index , hiding in plain site and that you can go back and edit your posts; you are trusted to do so. Responsibly and with respect by staying within the original context...

Your friend may just be a 'Whink' surgeon. Did he stop the reaction with something, quickly? Watch out for that rabbit hole just ahead....
