VAMWorld 2.0

Cost per coin is $85.00.

I got my second dose of the Moderna vaccine on Wednesday and it knocked me on my ass for about 48 hours. I have several medical conditions that make Covid a severe risk, so I took the jabs. Did a lot of research and talked with professionals who did not have a dog in the fight to go from strong anti...

Very sad news. Condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing to them.

Die trails?

Thanks. Sounds like I need to sit on this one for a while. I will check out 38 and see if it is a fit. Appreciate the help.

looks real to me but abused. the genral softness and beveling of the devices does not appear as they do on the "privately made" series. Agree. Purchased on eBay with not great pictures. In hand it looks more like a real mint issue, but now i can't match it up. It has been frustrating me. The proble...

No Gouge in the R

Thanks. I looked at 2C, and while the date position is good, there is no gouge in the R. The Wing-A break isn't pictured and when looking at the LFCP Reverse pic, the crack seems to be in the wrong place. Not sure 2C will work for this.

I have been going over this for a couple weeks now and can't find a match. I don't have all the supplements and not all of the VAMWorld listings have date photos, so I may be missing something obvious. I bought this because it looked like it might be a contemporary counterfeit. There is some roughne...

Same date, too!

Same reverse as my new 1893-CC VAM 六 with a different mintmark! It got the special sludge and sewage soak for "realistic" toning, though.

Nice! Congrats!

My latest acquisition, an 1893-CC VAM 六 :roll: :lol: RMR 1893-CC Fake Obverse.jpg RMR 1893-CC Fake Reverse.jpg This is just a follow up to twohawks 's post about the circulated Chinese counterfeits. I picked this up on Amazon for 2 bucks and change delivered, for the purpose of seeing if they've got...

Love the really slanted date on that 1900 S!

Might be unlisted... but with the pitting and what looks like little bubbles on some device edges, it may also be a cast counterfeit. It definitely saw circulation, so if it is a counterfeit, it would be a contemporary counterfiet. I will try to take better pictures with my digital scope. These were...

Already eliminated 2C. No gouge in the R. Date placement also doesn't work with the other slanted dates.

Sorry for the jumbled post... have trouble posting from my phone. Here are a couple more shots. Reverse has cracks on both sides and there is some funky stuff happening on the rim by UNITED. Looks like PMD, or it could be some sort of planchet flaw, but it just looks odd. 1900-O Reverse TED.jpg 1900...

Last week I took two shots at possible contemporary counterfeit Morgans. The first turned out to be a hit (1902-o VAM 3). This one, 1900-O has me a bit stumped. It has a slanted date. Not sure whether this is a normal date or not... doesn't seem to match existing Normal Slanted Date VAMs. There is a...

Thanks, John. It will be heading your way later this month.

That was my initial thought, but some of the other markers weren't there.
