VAMWorld 2.0

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!

These are great new nuggets of information in what was already a fascinating story!

John:
Just sent you 18 coins this morning.

I agree with VAM 1AM.
Here's a shot from one of my coins. The OL gouge isn't easy to see, even when you know what you're looking for:

@vampicker Hey John, that may not be enough time for me to find the 74 1921-Ps and 74 1921-Ds I still need to finish those two sets.

Heck, December 1, 2030 probably won't be enough time either.

Looks fine to me.

Do the grading services usually annotate such things? Do they usually do anything other than keep us guessing? Strike-throughs run a very wide gamut of severity, ranging from "where is it?" to massively hideous. I personally regard them as a negative and I try to avoid them. ANACS seems to attribut...

Post Mint Damage. In other words, it happened after leaving the Mint.

I have two of these; one looks just like yours (minor).

I replied on your PCGS board post, but I wanted to add something here. If you want to get them all graded, assuming the coins are indeed all BU, you could submit them to me to add to a PCGS bulk order that I'm accumulating. The grading fees would be a small fraction of what they'd be if you sent th...

Chris: The last photo you posted gave me two new – and IMO significant – things to look for after I dialed-back the black level in the image. Unfortunately, far too many of the photos in the D2 scribbles guide have been cropped so tightly that the area where the vertical scribble between upper tail ...
