VAMWorld 2.0

Heres one I just photo'd. Its not severe but it is somewhat outside of typical with lines of random thickness. Typically all the lines are somewhat uniform in size while this one has thin ones around 2 thick "Railroad track" lines. Still trying to find the severe one I bought a while back solely as ...

I rarely give these out, but this one earned it. You Suck™! Congrats!

Woo hoo, this might be my very first from you JB?! 🥰

I would file that under "Questionable Authenticity."

You see it as bad rather than just a common 94o that has been evenly slicked from dryer/water erosion over time/acid/ etc JB?

I'll go with environmental damage.

Found my Morgan & Peace ones...

I have been informed that my 14.7 pick from the FUN show has graded MS63 by PCGS. Happy day!

Well I have been informed that Fogie SUCKS

Thanks guys! Yup, stuff like this is still out there!.. Now if I can only cherry one of the UBER rare 8TFs

Oh, also... like my smartwatch?

Crappy hotel room/lighting pics shortly after buying it ...

Hey guys, finally want to share my big Cherry for 2019 with y'all. And it comes with a huge story, I'll try to be brief... So, my partner Ed and I went to the ANA Chicago show then since Dalton show was the next week we decided to rent a car, drive to GA shop-hopping along the way then fly back home...

I still go for electronics and not dipping. Dipping is too risky and in the end can often be detected. Dropping out the color electronically is relatively easy.

Electronically??

Ray, that's a SOLID 5. I've seen similar in 6 (low 6) and also in 4 (PQ 4) tho.. Just up to the day and who sees it etc.

If you've taken ANA grading courses, you'd absolutely love the Summer Seminar Morgan Dollar class as Messydesk mentioned. Highly recommend. A week-long experience like no other

Mid April huh. I'll bring this up at our next business lunch. If the timing works out, maybe. Always wanted to check out the midwest Long Beach..

JB and I have a certain love affair with these. That's a cool one too! I think I have a Peace & Morgan one somewhere but this one is about as wild as they come. Haven't seen its equal on any series.. And I was given it by someone as payment that wanted me to just check a couple rolls for any better ...

I'm curious why people haven't seemingly run across these "melted dates" before. I see them quite often, especially on the early S's with 82s being the most frequent if I had to guess. So it's not a manifestation of hub doubling?

If I had to guess, from just that one photo, using a Galaxy 4: It could be a jeweler with some fine silver soldering tools and skills. I have even made simular shapes in my soldering attempts on a circuit.

It's nothing like that. This is a somewhat common manifestation seen with regularity.

Me likey for a Peacey

If there isn't a bunch of small peppered chatter that is being light bleached and the fields + devices are that mark free, easy 6, probable 7 or even 7+.. Not 8 though, that mark below E•P alone would limit an 8 nomatter how pristine otherwise. That weakness, especially for an O mint, is a relative ...
