VAMWorld 2.0

Congratulations!!!

I ? the 1AM attribution but do not know it right off - I think the PUP will turn out to be the gouged O in dollar.

From the photos it looks to me like there is a depression in the middle of several if those bumps. If ya find a newly chipped asphalt drive somewhere and lay a nice Morgan down on said drive and run over it with a VW (for example) you should get a similar surface. Watch out for the lightning cause t...

Dunit! (& Thanks for catching it!)

At least some of those look like PMD. (& my example does not have them)

I have talked with one of the two coauthors of the set. It turns out that the set was aimed at radial die breaks and was not intended to be 100% inclusive. Several known radial die breaks were left out intentionally as they wanted the set to be possible to finish. Said coauthor will chime in here so...

The "Thems the breaks" seems to be one of them. No idea who came up with the list and additions can be made by anyone (at...

The registry has been updated. My head hurts....

As best I can tell the verbiage in question adds nothing but confusion so I removed it. Below is a shot of an 1887 VAM-4A. The furrowed brow (stri...

Thank you John! I KNOW these things take a lot of work. I will get to work on updating the registry on the morrow.

Yup - they got that part right at least!

Most welcome!

I am a little late to the party as they say... THANKS John!

I think you have it there! Good score!!

Congratulations!

The census in the SSDC registry is current. If you enter a coin - it is in the census quick as those electrons can do their thing. The "census" that can be found on some of the VAMworld pages - is NOT current. Other censuses - who knows! Hope this helps. VAMon

I know that it probably means the progressing of a Die or Dies that eventually deteriorate or suffer a failure tha...
