Re: 79-S B2a Study

messydesk 56, 149, and 66 may not be in exactly the right order, and it may never be possible to determine the right order for those 3. I think VAM-149 struck before VAM-66, based on the relationship of the reverse of 79 counterpart. While VAM-56 is the "problem child". Can't find the right place f...

Re: Checkmark mystery

1. Totally agreed with everyone else... your pics are superb. 2. Totally agreed with you, 80p V44 is mighty tough. I felt blessed to have one (bought from another member here). 3. I know the person listed as the discoverer of V44. I've asked him (in person) a few years ago, and he said he knows noth...

Re: Show off some of your best vams!!

Complete 'die chip wing' set, including VAM-144 which was pre-die chip.
The VAM-100 is my favorite as it was purchased from a dear friend. RIP, BJV.

Re: 1881o vam 50a/33a not

Brian, I think yours is VAM-50A. Is there a tiny patch of rust/pittings by 1st L of DOLLAR on yours?

Also, VAM-50A mintmark is higher than VAM-33B. Clashing looks almost identical, but definitely different location. Just compare the clashed marking at back of the hair/cap.

@morganman - It's inevitable for the number of varieties to go up when we do extensive die study. And yes, the acid variety is very addicting :lol:

More acid... new 1879-S VAM-147

Could someone please add to SSDC Registry the new 1879-S VAM-147?
And also add it on the SSDC "Acidic VAMs" set.
Thanks
