VAMWorld 2.0

I saw this listed in the Judd book and was wondering if there is any more info about it anywhere. I'm curious if they coated the planchet then struck it or struck a copper planchet then coated it with silver. Also, what was the purpose in doing this instead of using silver? I see the Philadelphia mi...

If there are cracks you will notice the coin does not ring as long, if it rings at all. You'll still see spots on the spectograph if you use one, but not lines. Machinists, carpenters, and lots of other trades that work with fast spinning blades or grind wheels will ping them and make sure they ring...

If there's no list of diagnostics anywhere are there higher resolution photos than on PCGS or microscope photos somewhere? Since they were experimental I've heard they ran the dies to failure and melted most of the coins, but hypothetically if the a later die stage coins did survive, that is with no...

I suppose CRH is gambling but at least you can only lose time! Now that I think about it perhaps TPG is...

The 5 has a more rounded lower half and the gap on the lower half is wider. The 9 also seems thinner bu...

We all know the ping test, whether with a device or balancing a coin on your finger. 90% silver peace/morgan have a fundamental frequency around 4.5khz. Whats interesting is that there are actually two frequencies about 100hz apart because the coin is not a perfect disk, the design breaks the symmet...

I have a few VAMs anacs attributed that they've only attributed a dozen or so of. I don't see how to browse pop reports for all of them so I don't know the relative rarity or desirability. Searching ebay / heritage / stacks / great collections didn't turn anything up. Is putting them up for auction ...
