Re: Help on a 1921D with two die gouges that do not show in listings

@DHalladay may ask you for a picture of the scribbles , do you know what those are? down by the eagles talons , usually the viewers left / eagles right . and he might know off the top of his head too , because scribbles take some looking for and are kinda hard to capture on film so to speak ...

Re: 1901-O, VAM 13

Attributing a toned coin is a little bit harder at least for me . Personal victories on one that is harder almost makes the experience itself just a little bit sweeter . I am so out of my league on this forum , I started about 30 or 40 years behind most of the members here , maybe more . However I a...

Re: 1879 S VAM 29 + (the plus revealed)

I think the most important question would be , do you think it is a positive ? despite all the lists , and the values and the rarity , do you think it's cool ?????.... that tidbit that LateDateMorganGuy shared on here a while back that read something like "collect what you like and like what you col...

Re: Lack of posting topics and overall interest

You know what Roger you are right , and I will apologize to Scott if that is how that last post came across. I caught myself the other day doing nothing more than pouring gasoline on a fire in one of the threads . Maybe I am just trying to make up for something that happened along time ago on a very...

Re: Lack of posting topics and overall interest

Scott , have you ever considered the impact of your posting on this forum ? I get it ,,,, it's not so much of having anything to do with the VAM market but more in lines of anyone (possibly new folks reading some or your post) ? I swear you are a lot man and I mean no offense at all . All the negati...

Re: 1904-O VAM-23 additional pics.

I have a coin that matches the only two pics on the listing. The first of my two pics are those markers pics for comparison. Full coin shots (not the best) and additional pics of areas of interest. I will send Alan a message to see if he would like to have the coin in hand. http://ec2-13-58-222-16....

The seller was very cool . I probably made a new friend. I may have still paid a hair more than a current price sheet says , however there is much more to life than a price sheet !
