Is it online somewhere or just in the pops? NGC attributions have historically needed to be taken cum grano salis.

Not sure how putting grains of sperm in my sails is gonna help me with NGC attributions, but I'll do it if you think it will help!
*We REALLY need a sarcasm font...

The distinguished Mr. Santos???

OW! Watch where you're going, buddy!

Thanks Tom and Bingo. I've had a couple inquiries about individual coins... I wouldn't have an issue selling single coins from the ECD set, but would WAAAAYYY prefer to find a buyer for the WOW! set that would try to keep it together. For what it's worth, of my $50k asking price, the WOW! set repres...

Very cool Dennis, congrats!
I bet you'd get a Mallis award by just publishing your price data base!

Well, that's... depressing. Dave was indeed always friendly and supportive. I feel like I met him at a show once and what he was here is what he was in real life. RIP Dave!

WICKED! But, how in the world did those two stay together all the years???

It might be considered as a High grade in your high end Rabbit eyes. It’s the lowest graded 1888-O Scar H-10 “low ball” found in the wild untouched by pockets of Alabama Rabbits. Lol, had PCGS “re-graded” it and yes they dropped it to a 30. 😎 Burch, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! All you are do...

Can't say if this is a DC or not, but the "gouges" you show are actually just clash remnants.

Due to life changes, I may be looking to sell my WOW! VAMs set and Elite Clashed Dies set. The WOW! set is still the only complete set out there and can be viewed in the SSDC registry. I'd estimate that around 50% of the coins in this set are the plate coins for the WOW! VAMs guide. The Elite CD set...

Thank you!!! I have about 45 minutes just trying to find that on http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/Home. I wasn't using the correct, or succinct keywords evidently... :-) Curious, What do you think it would be worth at AU58? Numismedia lists 79P in AU58 at $54, so I'd say...

I'm gonna call it all "on", not "in"...

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed at all . I will have to buy the book and not just gloss over the list . its just allot of stuff to learn all at once , I hope you understand ... some of us us are just retarded coming into all this , or it could just be me :lol: Hehe, not to worry, my statements...

This: "Wouldn't it be nice if someone were to lump together all of the most dramatic examples of different listable VAM "types", so beginners could get a feel for what to look for?!? Man, I wish we had a resource like that...." Go beyond the "listable" - those are often arbitrarily, like the 1921 e...

Squirrel, you did not specify which Mr. Wilson I look like. You must be too young to know that the original Mr. Wilson did not have a mustache. The first one had glasses, but the second one did not, only that tash. I have both. No wonder you can't VAM

From a cataloging standpoint, there's a balancing act between cataloging everything and creating a manageable catalog. To catalog everything, it's necessary to be able to study a lot of coins at the same time so you can see what everything that's on a particular die. Leroy didn't have this luxury d...

....and not a Morgan in the bunch Louisiana Purchase Expo medal from 1904. AA Weinman is the medalist, designer of the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty Half. Next is a 1625 Netherlands West Friesland Lion Daalder, there's a possibility this actually circulated in New Amsterdam. and an old copper or...

Yeozers, gorgeous coins for sure. I've not attended FUN but I've had my own... One is an 1841 Dr Stuart Scottish Farthing, combining my two favorite passions - medicine and money: 1841 Dr Stuart Scottish Farthing FCO.jpg 1841 Dr Stuart Scottish Farthing FCR.jpg Long before the Type 1 Standing Liber...

Can anyone put names on the faces please

I clearer picture would help, but I'm pretty sure I recognize JR, Alan and Fogie, off-hand.
As an experiment, see if you can ID Alan if I say "picture Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace in your mind"...

Yes, there is a database akin to what you are searching for, it resides in Idaho and it's SPECTACULAR!!!
