Awesome pickup!
Did JB or JR attribute as 101?
Look forward to seeing the listing on 1902 o page!
Another cc to add to the radar.
Congrats!!

JB has verified and set up the page. It isn't listed on the counterfeit page yet,

Thanks

This one pairs the obverse from VAM 63 with the reverse from 1901-O VAM 67. Picked it up from the bay. The seller's pictures were good enough to see rounded edges so I felt pretty sure it was counterfeit. But the date and mint mark didn't match VAM 92, the only other 02-O C4 privately made, so I was...

This one appears to match the LVA description and plates. It has rounded edges and curved lines below the right wing. The mint mark looks right. Have also found a couple of the dings shown in the field images. A picture of the full reverse would be very helpful, but as always, so will your thoughts....

I don't see the 27A lines in your pictures.

They are hard to see. I'd guess the "enhancement" did a bit of "effacement."

If that was an attempt to add detail, they radically failed.

Oh well. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll note this one as being in need of an upgrade.

And the reverse,,,

Pretty certain I have the attribution right. It has the broken D, N, and denticle. I can see the die wear at DOL. And there is a die chip above the top arrow feather. But the buffing has me at a loss. Easily, 60-70% of everything on both sides has what looks to be a buffing halo. I have a 1891 O VAM...

While researching a coin I was looking to buy, I saw the note on the 1901 O VAM 60 page, "C3 type reverse with III O mint mark titled slightly to right similar to 1900-O VAM-22C1 counterfeit, but no confirmation of same die or same copied coin." I think that can be confirmed. When comparing the reve...

Picked this up from the Bay this week. Pretty sure it's a VAM 67. Has the gouge in the denticles at the neck point and a C3 reverse. Even though it's a higher grade than the other privately made I have, it's hard to see the crack at STATES. (Looks to me to be around VF 40-45.) One other thing I noti...

Well poopy. Oh well. I'm still glad to have it.

Thanks for he info.

Picked this unattributed off the bay recently. I'm pretty sure about the attribution. My question is about the scratch above her cap.

Is this bad enough to get a details grade?

Thanks, for everything.

After it made 2 trips to JB and 2 to PCGS, got my 1st discovery back this week.

Can someone please create a page for it?

Thanks, Jonnie

Thank you very much Mark.

And...

I thought it was a VAM 99 based on the diagonal polish line in the D shaped void, but the angle looks wrong and there isn't a thread in the left wing. When looking for other pick up points, I found a long, curved vertical thread on the cheek that goes from even with the bottom of the earlobe down in...

IMO, I'd call it a 7C since all of the lines above the left wing are gone.

Jonnie

Have you looked at 14?

So, I guess it's not noteworthy or its not what I think it is.
