VAMWorld 2.0

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.

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 ...

Interesting/annoying coin. The very significant cracks at ONE are unlisted in the attribution guide, and the scribbles detail isn't quite enough to let me find a match there, despite having made a slow and determined search. A trip to messydesk may be in order (but don't be surprised if the final ve...

Still looking for any help with this one.

Look at 3CA and 3CA1.
Both have the line from the wreath to O in ONE. So does 3CA2, but by that point it has gotten pretty weak.

Best of luck Andy! I have my serious eyes on several pieces.
