VAMWorld 2.0

WTG Brian! TY-VM!!

What Chris said!...

That sounds like it 'might' hurt!...

Welcome. The 2 dies that made that coin are what make it a VAM. The 'ring' you see is a die crack. Probably one of the pick up points of that VAM. Full coin picks of both sides might help nail down which VAM you have...

So I read this and think, Scott is doing Great. Right?...

IMHO; This 'common' date coin has been cleaned. To what extent, a simple one. The coin shows dark 'blotching', a warning sign for me. It also shows signs of metal movement, once again, circulation.

The 'R' in PLUR looks like it has a hit too, no?...

If you look at the Reverse die, where would the 'O' come from?...

Raised(resting on the surface)from the die. The 'raised' that you see there is 'pushed' metal. You can see the indent from contact with the surface...
