this coin has polishing around the wing on both top and bottom and looks like its a fresh event. In the eagles mouth it has a faint line gouge or scratch, but that on the inside and extends from the eagles tongue.

So it looks like a VAM-6 die 1. But to make sure is this the correct understanding. VAM-6 Die 2 is a the coin with the heavy polishing around the upper and lower section of viewers left wing.

Well this coin is what looks to be the long lost VAM-5 "Maybe" It has the correct obverse die in an early die state where 2 defined scratches that are deeper than they look in my images around 1 &9 of the date. This die is said to be shared with the VAM 5 , VAM 6 and VAM 38. The reverse die is not d...

I have been buying a bunch of coins that are coming from a safe that really has not seen the light of day in decades I have picked up 2 David Hall "Pre PCGS' coins with 1 in his Dealer flip, and the other is a true 1st Gen Pre PCGS printed grading flip both are also up on E BAY Anyway I picked up a ...

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
