VAMWorld 2.0

Thanks for the responses. I will take a pic of the Upper wing clash and post it.

The clash (what I call a bat wing) extends midway from the wing towards the center of the n, but doesn't touch.

Andy, you are on your game!

The only other clash not posted is what I call "the flame" of wing feathers in the field on Liberty's Lips.

and date

So here we go

Curious about why someone would want these imitation things.

1- It's Fun
2- It's a Silver Dollar

FYI-

If you are subscribed and pre-ordering, the mint 23 Morgan/Peace limit increased. The mintage quantity did not.

If you find letter transfer you will get an A

the A is if I can actually capture the image, lol

Does anyone have record of an 1884-CC VAM 5 with neck clash and right wreath clash, or is that not notable?

Wish I had one, but I kinda do...

I would call this VAM 8A EDS. VAM 8A refers to exactly one die pair, while VAM 8 may not. Referring to the coin as VAM 8A EDS removes ambiguity as to which die pair it is. It is not incorrect to call it VAM 8 LDS, but it may be ambiguous.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Good Morning, VAMed out a 21-D. Followed the crack guide which lead me to the VAM 8A, flagged R. However, my coin does not have the triangular fill over the R, but does have 3 breaks though the denticles (among others), wing gouge and polishing lines, so definitely right die. Would this be a VAM 8 L...

Not sure if this crack will help, but here it is.

Runs from the denticle through left wreath

Are those super images actually a Hi-Def 3D scans? the overall focus depth is incredible and it appears you can rotate on all axis...

Thanks for the helpful responses. I have been experimenting with lenses lately and wasn't happy with detail loss on that configuration. The "big book" looks like a big help. I have noticed on some LVA plates they appear to have been printed on 3 hole paper and scanned but the work was phenomenal. I ...

I noticed there are no full coin images on the V38 VAM Page. Here they are from the discovery coin. @PacificWR could you drop these photos onto the page? Thanks in advance! 1896 V38 OB.jpg1896 V38 RV.jpg It is a done deal. The Wing Die gouges aren't part of the description. Wayne- do you want the H...

As there are no pictures and only a definition...

"Obverse III2 14 - 6 doubled above top loop as a dot on left and curved line joining top of loop and doubled slightly at bottom outside of lower loop"

Does this fit the bill... has a dot on left ?

Illusion... and why I study the brain. This schtuff fascinates me. Impossible to have the MM in that area of the coin if it was transferred somehow - clashing would be the only plausible explanation - and transfer would put it on the top of the obverse, not the bottom near the date. Besides, transf...

I also have an EDS Capped R and this thread made me look for the beveled field above the OF, which pop's on this pic.

It's probably only a AU55 and disregard the 18mm Planchet break, or regard it, it is cool!

Thanks All. I got this coin 6 months ago while searching for that 2nd 96-P 4B. Seems I'm always a day late but nice to know there are discoveries about still, and Jody got the cred. Believe I found a V-14 but there are no pics so that will go up next for review. Still think this looks like a O mint ...
