VAMWorld 2.0

I've got an example sitting on my desk in a virtually identical stage. I just see typical clashmarks without any hint of letter transfer. I added a comment to the VAM 5 page about some examples having clashmarks with no letter transfer

Thank you Dennis. At a minimum you deserve a cookie

79 Phillies represent the deep end of the pool. Very few listings present easy answers. The date is riddled with multiple dies that have remarkably similar features. Unless you can capture images of some die markers you're going to get nowhere with this one.

Reading over this page a couple of times will save you a considerable amount of personal aggravation.

I see a typical clash. Where's the counterclash?

I think it's pushed metal from hard hits nearby

full obv and rev shots

I was asked about this piece earlier today. I had the discovery piece come across my desk a couple of years ago and this is one that has fallen thru the cracks. I don't have the write up handy, but here are some images. The odd gouge on the M of AMERICA is its most noteworthy feature

Yeah, that's supposed to be there. And on the VAM 6 too.

This looks like one that needs a trip to me or JB

You can't even say JR because I attribute a bunch of other stuff

And he'd be far more interested in a coin or two that he'd want than a sale

Is the B at normal relief or is part of it lower than the letters on either side?

Is the thing that looks like an S raised or incuse?

The original poster is a real person

My best guess is he's referring to the 21-S scribbles page, but I don't see an actual question posed

This thread is about a perfect illustration of why some of us spoke up and advocated for further research into scribbles when Van Allen asked us if it was worth pursuing. For many, many 21's it's the only unique die feature

Yeah, focus on your scribbles shot and forget the other stuff
The lines on the arrowhead are in the master die

You're going to need other stuff. That quad spread is from one of the master dies or working hubs. It appears on multiple varieties

I'd think it's a safe assumption that the long die scratch thru AMERICA exists independent of the clashing. That marker has been listed for years now and it is how the Harrison 0 stage was located in the first place. An example without the clash would likely shuffle the deck

That is one evil assed spot!
