no break in the wreath, only one can it be....

nice pick.

nice ones.

Thanks for all your dedication and hard work - i second this. also, to many others around here. especially the sort-by link/pages. saves immeasureable amounts of time and effort and significantly increases accuracy as well as hopefully decreasing even more duplicate listings by getting answers to pe...

the one i picked up has major polishing lines in Liberty, the ear is very heavily polished away, along with the hair area. the clashing at neck is over half gone and the hair-vee lower clash is gone completely. no grease at neck or jaw. there is some good commentary about a, b, c stages. there is a ...

What to do in this vam community??

both can be done. eventually, some coins will be sent, it will be straightened out and we'll move on to the next one to untangle.

ok. that is just awesome when you put those 2 posts together.

i'm so very glad to read this as i found a 22b/c today and was trying to decipher which one it was by the vam pages and although i was trying to do it on the fly, it is good to know i didn't pass up on some major rarity as the pops would indicate for 22c. if it is still avail i may go back and buy i...

nice coin and fun vam!

Also consider if 1E should be eliminated from the registry set. i have no dog in the fight but would 1e be an elimination or a re-assign if the 1e came before 103.5? i presume it is a die classifcation problem? presumptively to me if it is removed from registry, then getting leroy to do something w...

nice DC!

thought it was some stage of 2A2, alas, i was wrong.

just as a side-note. is that listing even a vam 10? - 174355199098

dont see that big star die damage/gouge. fwiw

that vam 6 look much more like a o/cc than the vam 10. when vamsterdam posted it i looked at the o/o on that page and wow. i know it isn't one but if that inner part of the mm wore down, shoo wee. picked a v10 this week. not a big deal but i was happy to find an unc even if the bullion is making pur...

a good coin to post. it is above average for what i'm used to seeing.

they mess up the reverses and use obv of 21 with earlier dates.

i'd give this a 4.5-5 out of 10 for the public being able to detect it.

almost thought it may have just been whizzed a bit.

nice i appreciate when i see this type of post on various coin forums. a couple interesting and useful observations made by the mint.

ok. i looked again and may have to eat my words. also the hole goes a little deeper than i first noticed.

v67 page
This reverse shared with VAM-37, VAM-42, VAM-44, VAM-51, VAM-57, and VAM-67.

I see on the pages that there is a question about the two subject VAMs possibly sharing the same reverse die. Looks like JR has seen VAM-67 coins both with (LDS) and without the chip in eagle's wing. fwiw, a quick mm comparison shows they cannot be the same reverse die (not even possible). so long ...
