An incredible piece of work that I completely applaud - and am the direct beneficiary of as Jonnie's work helped me nail down at least 3 of my problem children (difficult to attribute varieties of this date). Thanks mate! You're very welcome, Gary. And Thank you, Jodemyer. This series was very frus...

I 2nd VAM 9

Check it against the description for VAM 65. It's in the "Dubious Listings" at the bottom of the page. It looks very similar to one I posted a few months ago. http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7700 I didn't include a picture of the lines at the eye but they look very familiar. I'll b...

Send it to messy desk ,
This may be an unlisted die

I have sent the 1st one I found. Both Johns have discussed it and they want to see a much less circulated version thinking there may be doubling hiding.

The majority of what I've dug through has been beautiful coins and if the scratches are still that prominent after circulating, I'd love to see it mint.

So I keep looking.

Another plus is I can now compare the three to see what they might share: Obverse -Possible doubling (minor) = "1" lower right side & "8 8 6" left side (visible on coins 1 & 3) and profile at nose (visible on all) 1886 Unk #1 Date.jpg 1886 Unk #3 Date 070.jpg -Chip at top of P in PLURIBUS -Portion o...

This one made the trip to JB and him and JR decided that until they can see a high grade specimen, in order to see whether there is any minor doubling, it would be listed as a VAM 1. After looking at a few 1000 86 P's, I have been able to acquire (2) more. Both raw and none of them better than AU 50...

Not sure this is the link I was after but could not hurt https://acefonline.org/counterfeit-aler ... unterfeit/

I had not. Thanks for the link.

Recently purchased this coin on eBay. Couldn't tell a lot from the photos. It wasn't until it was in hand that the problems started. In hindsight, I probably should have known something was up since it is an oval O. It has rounded edges where devices meet the field but, -It doesn't ping when dropped...

Yeah, it's missing from the date position page but it is on the main page and the oval O page.

I don't think you started low enough. There's another with a doubled 1.

Jonnie

I think I've decided the answer is Yes. Shoulder struck thru.jpg There's another on ebay now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/354843464885 Also looks like it was happening at the same time on her nose as well. Struck Thru Nose.jpg They do go away by the time the field scratch by the left talon appears. I k...

I can't tell for certain but is there a faint dash below the 2nd 8?

Jonnie

Well that makes me feel better.

Thanks

Just yesterday I bought coins on eBay. But when I went to look at them today, it's empty. Tried different categories but they are all empty. Tried different platforms. Nothing.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Jonnie

Good morning all. I have a 1886 O with a rotated reverse. Is this considered to be a VAM? If so is there a VAM number. As always thanks Well, since it's a Morgan dollar, yes, it is a VAM. The question is, which one? This one is very easy to figure out. Just keep to the basics, date position and min...

VAM 37. I see a gouge.

It was moved because it hadn't been observed. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That said, the die polishing lines on your coin need to match those shown on the 65A page (and those on a 65A coin that aren't shown) exactly for it to be considered to be VAM 65. I can't tell from here if they do. Than...
