VAMWorld 2.0

@demetri this is one year off from your coin , one year off but same mint . does your coin look like this ?http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... 0-S_VAM-88

So I have actually learned something important while looking through the VW pages . They call the kind if pimple like pitting on your 83-O porosity , Which is exactly what I believe it would look like if it was in the die .. not rust >>>> I would have to show you a bad weld made by long arcing 7018 ...

So i was on the 82-O v 4 page and it shows a picture of a reverse that looks much like your 83-O eagle and someone dubbed your pitting as" Freckles "

DHalladay I will guarantee you I will concede and fold like a cheap card table :lol: I just keep seeing these strange spider cracks on a few Morgan Dollars that the only way my brain comprehends them, is to think of them much like flint knaps on a arrowhead . stuff that cracks but does not flake . ...

you have to find letter transfer for the clash to count, very nice coin BTW

That's a pretty nice gift Bert !

and JB knows way more than me so he is probably right . but I would make sure with pictures, cause i like looking at clouds sometimes

this just reminds me of Geseas anomaly on his 78 . it looks like it extends up on to the MM where it meets it on the lower right .. this is why i want to get Ziess to build a coin scope version, with big optics and no stacking required... Picture borrowed From Dennis ,, it's pariodilla , its a treas...

I wanna guess its a crack in the plancet , knowing i could be wrong ... improper annealed silver . maybe ?????

Welcome to the forum ! I wont be any help as I struggle with the lowballs and attribution . but someone will know . Good luck ! It does look like it has the spikes though.

Excellent! Looks nice. Sticking with the template makes it easier to view them all quickly. Thanks for doing this. Hoping you have a graphics tablet of some sort.

No tablet. Just Photoshop, a mouse, and a 27" monitor.

labor of love Mr, D ! Solid work Sir!

What causes that ?, I saw they were raised . seems like you can see that feature on several samples under the right lighting .It looks like slag in bedded in the surface , not so much rusty dies , but some byproduct of extreme heat maybe ????..

please don't do this to a Morgan Dollarhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=3FSR80hEyrk ... IECMiOmarE

No the alter surface thing is a coin cleaning type deception, the same category as whizzed sort of , I can't remember what it is called though...

Thank you , I should have been more studious the first time , This PCGS attribution of EDS on everything {1 -7} Threw 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 ...

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...

Have you checked the VAM-6 family?

Hey that sounded like an EF Hutton comercial

No I just wondered about the other die sctatch or gouge.not the one through americ' but the one visible on the H-0 pictures. on the united side of the reverse
.Does this one disappear by the time the stage gets to H-1 ?????
