Re: Interesting Seated Obstruction Error
You should have told PCGS to call it/them "Half and half". Then you could talk about the half half of half and half and the smaller half half.

Re: Interesting Seated Obstruction Error
Congrats! I would not have been surprised with environmental damage on the half dollar part.

Re: Guess the Grade, 1921 Peace PCGS Unattributed VAM 1H
Huge difference between Jody's coin and the OP coin, but a big part of that is the strike. Grading 1921 Peace dollars is like grading Buffalo nickels. You have to know what part of the missing detail is wear and what part is strike. Like Buffalo nickels and Walking Liberty halves, 1921 Peace dollars...

Well, if you can get a gold CAC sticker on it, then it'll be worth 64 money (because stickers
).

Re: 8TF VAM-14 Proof??
Is it online somewhere or just in the pops? NGC attributions have historically needed to be taken cum grano salis.

Re: Guess the Grade, 1921 Peace PCGS Unattributed VAM 1H
These are tough to grade from TrueViews with that flat lighting. This die pair tends to have an above-average strike, if I recall. I also keep coming back to the middle row of feathers across the wing looking like they're worn and not just weakly struck. The rims look nice, though, as they would on ...

Re: 1921-D JOH-25 Small Breaks D, S and S
The huge problem is, the 1921-D Die Crack Break Guide is horribly not up to date. Only 77 different VAMs are represented in it, out of the 228 that currently exist. I would like to try and help fix this somehow. Any ideas how I can contribute? I own 3 raw, circulated 1921-D that you folks have seen...

Looks like VAM 148, then.

Re: Again, I find I need some help w/1879-S
I'll probably list it as new. Waiting to hear from other 79-S specialists. The bit pointed to in the R above is just a hit on the coin.

No VAM number is assigned without me seeing the coin.

Re: Thank you ANACS!!
As much as 1921s drive me nuts, congratulations on this well-deserved award for the dedication it takes to pursue, assemble, and document a set like this.

Re: 1925-P with a weird font on the date?
They look the same to me. The thinner one might be thin because of machine doubling.

Re: 1923-P VAM Question
First things first, there's no such thing as multiple VAMs on one coin. It's a common misconception stemming from a misunderstanding of what a VAM is. A VAM is a specific combination of an obverse and a reverse die that can be told apart from other such combinations. The way we tell them apart is by...

Re: 1891-CC VAM-3 (or is it - HELP!)
Yes, it's VAM 3. I don't see any actual doubling in your pictures. There may be machine doubling, but you might also be seeing reflections on the coins taking on the appearance of doubling.
