VAMWorld 2.0

Thank you , I should have been more studious the first time , This PCGS attribution of EDS on everything {1 -7} Through me because included in the VW pages on a couple of the early stages are TWO stabbed EDS mystery stage coins in holders and the EDS thing threw me a little bit the first time . And ...

I want to say there might also be an "altered surface" pitting made from a mini sandblaster , can't remember what that is called though

Nice picks !!! your birdie has POX,, eagle pox ,,, its like chicken pox but cost more

K maybe not polishing events ,,, Like i said guess . This 1888 -s 6A is attributed s/s Upper Bar , Pitted Reverse, from Rusty Dies I think, , do your patched look like this ?

demetri With out a picture of your coins eye area it would be a blind guess... Strike through, die chips , OR PMD could be the reason for your patches, Heck I don't know maybe ,die fatigue, gouges , polishing events ,,,,, probably a dozen more that I don't know about ... Is this luster you mentione...

You sure do have some purdy coins Bert!

Does one need all the supplements to be up to date ? Or Just the most current version? Still struggling with reading the VAM pages correctly so this question is for future reference

And please forgive any incorrect statements I have made about this mysterious EDS H-1 stage of the 1888-O 1B1 ... I re read everything again ... still questioning the difference of the VAM VIEW price guide , because the official listing ON wiki does not really break H-1 EDS vs H-1 out ... and i;m no...

Scuff Job.

Maybe,,, looks like molten eagle Guts in a loupe His Coin was pretty beat up under magnification . Had it not had so much other damage I may have pursued this further ...

I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that most of the H-1 EDS on SSDC pop report are miss attributed because the PCGS label says EDS The ones that have pics attach have proven my hunches Thank you for that comment > So I am not the only one" just asking questions" about this particular variety pop report?...

How was this determined to be the result of "acid treatment" of a die? No I had thought based on the year someone had attempted to mimic one of the acid treated dies , Everything I looked at under the scope appears to be post mint damage .. The coin appears to have chunks of metal missing either by...

clashed BER,,,, love these too, Very Nice!

Thanks Doc .it looked like PMD to me but I was not sure. The side of the breast looks like someone shot a turkey with a shotgun
