Re: 1882-O VAM-25? Assistance requested.

I start with clashing example or not, move to check date
position and ck doubling, then flip to see MM issues if any
This one tilted left-not sure if o/o clasher will narrow field
Quick attrib of possibilities made simple

Re: Is there a trick to photographing overstruck coins to make the original more visible?

Vamming should be simple withot thinking to much or trying to micro vam everything. Pictures IMHO are much tougher, learning various approaches & equipt is very tough/hard IMHO. As a tech dinosaur learning pics is a no for me, as frustration runs rampant. I find others struggling as well.Spending mu...

Re: Lack of posting topics and overall interest

:popcorn: I agree with latedate morgan guy- way to much confusing info at beginning of vam pages that confuses newbies & old timers alike. Keeping it simple, understandable, upfront would keep folks interest, withot all the complex details of various dies and etc.

Re: 1878-S VAM 8.1 discussion

1878 clashers are really special in my thinking, but as
always i hate all the confusing die configuration stuff,
as it simply adds frustrating details to a already to many
PUPS venue

What ever happened to SIMPLE VAMMING? IMHO

Re: Lack of posting topics and overall interest

I confess to being very negative, as i dont see Vams as
exciting anymore, after many yrs following and involved
My age,health decline, vam values have all played a roll.

I need to simply quit it all, but habits are hard to break.
I will try hard to dis appear LOL

O/T Lousy Metals Markets

So today metals pricing succumbs to 2 week continued weakness with gold down $12 ++ just above $1900 and worse yet silver off 30 cents plus around $23.30 Any strength is typically met with heavy selling as buyers become absent to counter the offensive. Fiat currencies, paper assets continue to domin...

Lack of posting topics and overall interest

Some posts stay at top of page for days, signaling low action and interest. Sure sad the way this has all went downhill from say 2015 forward. 2010 + seems to be the haydays with huge volumne & action. So many members left, many from pricing/devaluation reasons. Guess like any other public forum, pe...

Very large Flea bay seller in general, with lots of nice Morgans Good luck as overall priced a bit high IMHO, but its your choice, especially with their fees & PP, not to mention your time to describe with pic[s etc. This is why i decided (screw em) and went to heritage to sell No commission to sell...

Re: HUGE bargain at Heritage last night

Mark hit the nailon head-as non specific heritage auctions of vams
allow for disasters like this one
Sellers must beware and list/consign in heritage pl/dmpl/vam
periodic auctions. Next one is DEC i think. Even then prices are pretty
low with doing quite well

Re: HUGE bargain at Heritage last night

Simply yet another huge confirmation that collectors with money to spend are not buying vams even at huge discounts, as prices continue to fall each month. Very sad for sellers, as blood baths are seen continually. Even i feel the pain on select vams i paid decent money for 8-15 yrs ago. My saving g...
