Thank you for your reply! Once I get this done who would I email them to?

Thank You,
Carnell

@fogie (Brent) would be my recommendation. Heck, he's always my recommendation.

Welcome Carnell. LVA played no role in getting new discoveries posted onto VAMworld. Unless the discoverer passed along a copy of the official description letter and plate images to someone here to transcribe, there was no way for the information to get out. A high quality copy of the plate images i...

I have only one sales record in my database for 40A. As Fogie has explained, few folks caring about 1901-Os in general could explain some/most/all of that.

Thanks for sharing Dennis. I put it in the Broken Branch Mintmark Set. I have not run across that one yet. If we can get your pic on the its page, that would be great.

@fogie Might do that... if we are nice to him.

I know this title sounds like an oxymoron, considering how very common cracks are on 1921-Ds. But this one (VAM 1EW1) caught me off guard, because it's the only one I can recall seeing that goes through the mintmark: 1921-D 48422273 mintmark 1.jpg And it doesn't stop there; it goes well into the low...

Tripling on the wreath leaves is impressive!

These are all of the sales in my database since 2020: 1879-S R78 25 62 PCGS Dec-21 H $4,560 1879-S R78 25 58 PCGS Mar-23 H $1,020 1879-S R78 25 58 NGC Aug-23 GC $532 1879-S R78 25 55 NGC Mar-23 GC $515 1879-S R78 25 55 NGC Jan-21 E $359 1879-S R78 25 55 PCGS May-23 E $351 1879-S R78 25 55 NGC Dec-22...

Such a long auction, and so many bargains.
I won five, including two that I never dreamed were possible.

In a rare occurrence, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with Dennis here... As long as the clashed I is present, these carry a nice premium. I sold my MS64 to a VERY knowledgeable collector for 3x common, because he told me he'd be willing to pay 4x common... I gladly defer to Mr. Squirrel on...

Is the base of the 1 doubled on the top left? John, what you ask about looks like a small nick, plus perhaps a curving part of the crack: date first 1.jpg fogie has a bunch of different '86-O VAMs in AU or better and promises to see if he can find a match to the UTF lines when he gets back home. Bu...

Those tell me that I should check the date and mint mark first.

Since I know you really want to see them...

I'm going to estimate very little to no premium.
Except for 6A, 6B and the Thornheads there doesn't seem to be collector demand for 1921-S.

Yep, that's it!
Super nice in hand, BTW.

No expert here , but I would like to see the LFCP both sides I only found a 2 point match out of 100 on your scribbles ... not enough pictures in the wiki to be finding this one without more ...I'll guess v27 but I know it is probably wrong :lol: Check the Heritage archives. I just bought it a week...

Rather than bore everyone with date and mint mark placement photos, or numerous crack shots, I'll get right to the "wow, that's interesting!" feature of this unknown coin. Can anyone help (Hint: @vampicker and @messydesk ? – because I'm clueless about this date.

It was always my understanding that the only way LVA plate images got posted to the attribution pages is if the discoverer posted them or sent copies to one of the supervisors at SSDC. That's why many coin pages don't have any plate images. And, unfortunately, sometimes only 1 or 2 plate images were...

Absolutely a Hall of Fame List 'pick!
"WAY TO GO!!!" is so not enough.

...and yet, you'll still try.

So true!
And I just found another D, so just 73 to go.

Gorgeous photos!
