VAMWorld 2.0

Bath time for buyer…

Ended! For a little extra humor, check out the reverse of the coin on the NGC web site; mint mark is a little east of SAN FRANCISCO🤭

‘c’ reverse to boot…

Clashed 116A is a rare bird, too…overall the obverse die progression set is quite the challenge…

Also, 116A LDS was clashed and the obv (& rev) clash marks polished away w/ V116B.

As the obv die progressed, the only thing of note was the obverse die crack to the left of the date that grew...

All 116-116C LDS have closed ‘o’ in God; based on obv die crack, you would have a 116C; one reverse die cracking. Nothing at bow so not LDS; Rev die was changed out later to the same as used in v144. Die crack on obv likely caused obv die to be retired and replaced creating 144.

Maybe someone used a box cutter to open the canvas bag. I’ll bet the original owner in the 1970s was upset! Of course much much cheaper then…
