VAMWorld 2.0

This looks like a match for VAM 58. It's an 'evil mimic' of VAM 44. The example on the VAM 44 page done by ANACS (and most likely me) is probably wrong. The gouges inside the ear on a 44 are almost perfectly vertical.

Thank you for attending the service and sharing the pictures

Very sad new indeed. He was a good man with a keen eye

Here's Marilyn's obituary

I've been thru several changes of ownership with ANACS. I have little doubt the PCGS brand and its service will survive regardless of its current corporate incarnation.

That is sad news. She was a good person and a charming host every time I was able to visit Leroy

Some version of VAM 5. 5B is the most likely

Kinda looks like a fish

It's a good learning experience. It's easy to focus on the feature that grabs your eye (in this case the long line) and search the listings for just that pick up point. It's not always going to be there for a variety of reasons. That second look at the coin for another 'listable' feature will almost...

Normal reeding puts this in the 'weakly struck' pile. Sorry

But I gotta ask - there's those pancake stars on the left and no clashing apparent in the pics. Is this an actual VAM 22?

What does the reeding look like?

Maybe you should buy more coins that look just like this

Here's the thread Roger is referring to.... http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4186&hilit=ike+indent It's worth noting the limited Ike design in the indented area stays more or less in its original shape. It does not bend and stretch thru the indented area like we see on the Morgan in...

It's its own site - kinda like a Craigslist knock-off.

Gotta ask - is that thing sitting in an aquarium?

That's really cool. I'd think we could infer a couple of things from the relative condition and scarcity of VAMs 29 and 29A. It would seem virtually the entire production of this die pair was released into circulation in an area where dollars stayed in commerce instead of going back to the banks. Th...

Aside from the uggo fake coin, the artificial black coloring should stop you in your tracks. Wear gloves if you're forced to handle stuff that looks like this in quantity.

That's funny right there....

So I bought this a couple of days ago off eBay. I didn't care what VAM it was. This was about color and the Paramount black holder. I figured I'd just ID it once I got it. It shows up today, and like most 79 Phillies, there's not a lot to go on. I certainly didn't recognize it - at best I had a slig...

Yeah, stunning example!
