VAMWorld 2.0

I picked this up thinking David has to have this one, its too broken. Well the coin imaged below has a dead bang match to the reverse die break on the VAM 1AE2. The listing states nothing about the Massive breaks on the OBV die. I glanced over the busted die listings and did not see one that matches...

here is a better OBV photo with out the blue hue

Well I just got this back from CAC, it is the only 1878 8 TF with a GOLD CAC sticker. Its also the finest 1878 P 8 TF MS-63 you are likely to ever see!

Great job Roger

As it turns out this coin is a double up. The winner of the coin crossed it into PCGS MS-63 PL. I have found a few coins won by members that crossed or where sent in by the winner of an auction coin for attribution that where doubled up in the population. On a rather common VAM its not really a big ...

I just looked it up, the original ANACS Cert lists this coin as a Long Nock only and it being proof Like only not a proof, nor is the VAM listed. As this coin has no Owner in the SSDC, nor do we have the VAM confirmed, and we also don't know if the coin is still in an ANACS holder as well as it bein...

This coin looks to have been clashed as some time, Try looking at all the clashed die varieties that are listed. It may not have letter transfer now, but in an earlier die state it may have and you can look for other pick up points.

Great Set Mark, and well done!

Nice Coin Rob!

Here are images of the V-17a that just cam in the mail, not quite sure why its not PL but its a very nice MS-63 with vary clear and strong denticles on the rev.

Well when I sent in the progression of the 1878 P 8 TF VAM 14.2 for the designation of the terminal die state and also pointed out the feeder finger gouges thought the O of "OF", and then Leroy created 3 varieties including one that no one has seen I did not like it. Well last night I got home and a...

The 1 * tf is Not 14.16 ITS AN EXTREMLY EARLY DIE STATE OF THE VAM 14.2 a and the feeder finger gouges thought the O of OF are stronger than an acer of garlic.

Here are the last to

COINS 3 and 4

I just received a small group of coins that I sent in to PCGS to see where they would come in. over half where CAC coins and 3 where plus grades. As I can only up load 5 photos I will put a 2 coin group up pre post. After a few days I will put the grades given. I understand that grading coins by pho...

Here is a photo of the latest one I have found and I just bought it tonight. Look as how open the hair spacing is on this one!

I picked the 2 coins below 2 days ago, more because of the deep gouge and heavier die scratch's than the later one. They both are VAM 17's kind of both have no denticles on the reverse are all left. The earlier one has something right on the neck line.

Very Interesting die progression!

The seller had bought a lot of coins from a guy that ...was less than honest over the years. The guy was sold some key dates as Unc and MS coins that where AU wiped and crap like that. The guy sent in what he thought was the Best stuff, so the ones that did grade where ………. well not treated well! He...

This one has No polishing and looks more like a DMPL than the PL designation given. It is graded MS-62 PL, and in hand looks way better than the grade.
