VAMWorld 2.0

i can't help but wonder if the "fracture" that they, whomever they are, are referring to, is that monstrous eye clash on the reverse and fracture was simply the term applied that that "damaged"? good point about the person giving the coin to Preston being the technical discoverer but that does not h...

nice.

thanks for sharing that one. not a common vam at all.

well said guys.

Hot lips?
91o 1A?

there is a previous thread.

i've seen them into the hair as well. you can probably look up many auction archives on these as i've seen many dozens. a popular one no doubt.

a nice one but it looks like 1a1.

1a2 is double clashed. if yours is, doesn't look like it from the images.

i usually get a well-ventillated area with a jar of acetone, with a lid and let the coin just sit in there for a while, minutes, hours, days, depending on how difficult crap like that is to get off. usually a q-tip dipped in acetone and a light spinning motion will tell ya if it is easy or difficult...

is this the vam that was purported to be counterfeited. something seems really familiar with it but it has been several years it seems. i was even thinking about it a few weeks ago.

looks like pmd or strike-through. can't really tell. images too small & blurry.

pretty nice one too. i bet that would fly through most shops and be never the wiser.

probably. 2 in unc pc, no unc registry. not many top 100 to claim so few in unc.

thank goodness. my fingernails can't take any more of this!!!

finding treasure in innocuous places and plain sight.

nice bunch you have there and fantastic presentation!

looks like to me the E1 is listed for obv break, which it mentions specifically in the obv descript and the E2 is listed for the rev break which is mentioned in the rev description. looks like a simple situation of incomplete information being posted on the page. yet again. even after all these many...

i agree with vampicker. the coin was hit and metal was pushed. you can see that in one of the nice closeups.

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

nice pick.
