Thanks for sharing your story with LVA in his time of mourning. Gratitude and random acts of kindness are important to me as well. Happy holidays. The hunt continues. Peace Roy

Congrats on your grand opening. Be safe and have fun. Peace Roy

They sure look closed to me. If you check known examples it's clear. Peace Roy

Let me know if you want me to send you some liquid tears to keep your eyeballs in tip top condition. Good luck and happy hunting. Peace Roy

A few more pics. Roy

Too many varieties with no pics of eagles head. Went to the 1881-0 website to find the markers on both sides of the eagle head. Did I chose the correct one? Thanks in advance for your input. Peace Roy

Thanks @fogie I'm glad I noticed that chin marker, the rest is all there too. Have a good evening. Peace Roy

Hi all, This MS-67 is a treat to study but I'm stumped. I located a curved gouge marker off the hairline at the face but it's higher that VAM-1B. The other points of interest are an obv die break at N, IGWT a chip in G and dblng on W. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks. Peace Roy

Acquired this pretty 1882-S, the die file lines thru the eye lead me to VAM-3 by way of 29 being eliminated. Do I ignore the clearly doubled mm. Pic of the wreath leaves do exhibit acid etch. Your opinion is appreciated. Peace Roy

Sounds like their website design is all screwed up and they need to fix it. How can this be? They don't have a systems manager/team maintaining their software? This is not a good sign. Peace Roy

Fortunately the NGC MS64 holder is clear. I'm thinking this coin may be 24 or 27 due to the dbl 8 but the thread-like impression on her cheek is very sharp. The only thread-like noted are on the cap or face at hairline. Could this be a strike thru? Your help is appreciated. Peace Roy

Great read. Thanks for sharing. Loved the lunchtime duel snippet! Peace Roy

Yup, the nexus at the M is pretty intense. Waiting to hear from our peeps. Peace Roy

@colwillys Good day, here's the reference image of 2AP, what say you? Thanks in advance for your insight. Peace Roy

Pleasant match to include the diagonal file lines at top right of spike. I also find 2 curved clash marks between the rays . Rev die overlay makes it to be hair curls. Does this clash change anything? I don't find the curved clash marker listed. Thanks in advance. Peace Roy

This Morgan was my Tandy belt buckle coin as a kid. Yeah, it's worn but I found markers that peaked my interest in trying to figure it out. Short nock, open O, broken R and a die chip above the eyelid, also date doubling. Your insight is appreciated. Peace Roy

My mom always said "don't pull on that thread!" Very nice. Peace Roy

CoinsandCanada.com has links to related info and our neighbors to the north. Good luck. Peace Roy
