VAMWorld 2.0

I know I just thought it was funny, I sent in 3 1921 S and got back 2 and 1 extra 1921 P

Just back from PCGS

This is more to worn people that don't look as close as we do. In hand while just flipping on coin after the other while culling dollars out, they are extremely easy to miss. The look and feel is that of a real cull, and in real common dates they just go into a Cull bucket.

Well a newer batch of counterfeits that look like just normal run of the mill "Culls" 1921 S, P D and older dates. If you look at the leaves on the Olive branch, you can see the fully broken leaf ..... no matter the year they all have this defect. Note: some are even clashed. Its not that they are t...

Running over a few hundred 1921 S dollars and ran into this coin. It looks to be the latest die state of this die chip 1921 S. This is no Die Chip LOL, it even has a split break the "Splits the top of the T in states cross bar. you can follow the break off the "S" into the denticles.

John, that happened tome last week. LOL

Hey Brent here is the good News in the group of dollars I just went over I found 2 coins, that not only will fill your last hole to complete your date set but also one that will upgrade your PO1 Details VAM 13 to what should be an MS 62. OK Hear is the really bad NEWS! After going though all of the ...

Well I picked up a few Dollars the other day, here is a colorful VAM 20. Its not a PL but it will due.

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 will be placing some Toned Peace Dollars I just picked up from a local shop that came out of a 3 decade lock down

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 ...
