VAMWorld 2.0

I'd say your uptick arrived. I'm more of a stacker than a market speculator, so an increase in metal prices leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand an increase in price makes it harder to stack, but it does reinforce my belief that the market needs a correction.

I was thinking Navajo code talkers, but then I'm not one of the Star-Bellied Sneeches.

I believe that GC is on the right track to taking over, and there are several things they could do to hasten the process. One, might be to find a mutually beneficial agreement with ANACS to promote VAMs, as PCGS and NGC only recognize a small percentage of all VAMs. Two, might be to invest in better...

Clean face and clean bird. I would give it a minimum of MS64. Probably PL and maybe DMPL, depending on the photograph. But I'm still learning.

I'd say that's worth crowing about.

It would be cool if "Life Member" could be added for those who qualify.

I really like that idea. It's sort of the green bean of polo shirts.

I did. Cost me $11. But that was a few years ago. If I recall correctly, it was the first '83-CC VAM-2 registered with the SSDC. All part of the fun.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations. That is a lot of hard work.

chgolaw1 "Is there a reason that PeaceVam Junkie was mentioned on this thread?" Yes. Just shooting from memory, about 10 years ago Pat made some suggestions on posting in the discussion page of VAMworld 1.0. And one of the comments he made was something to the effect of "people may not be responding...

I'm not sure I understand the problem. A discussion about metal prices, past present and future, is a logical extension of our collective interests. After all, I did not see any objections to other topics that were not VAM related. Threads have been posted concerning the structure of the mints, the ...

It brings to mind the Valentine's Day Massacre.
Great work.

I knew what happened, and thought it was funny. I didn't point it out to be the grammar police, but so that others might get a chuckle. No need to apologize.

I'll take one in Black size 2XL.
Just tell me where to ship payment.

And I promise not to eat like a glutton anymore.

"when is a doubled profile a doubled profile?" I've had similar questions concerning date placement - near, far or slanted? And mint mark position and tilt. My education is a work in progress. As for PUP photos to be added to the VAM listing pages, I think Ihnumis1 has provided a few, especially the...

Aside from VAM identification, you may want to address the green. Acetone is first, and I've had good results following up with Verti-Care.

You're on the right track, I believe that most of us do not want to deprive you of the joy of making your own identification. Great pictures and attention to detail.

My take is that competition benefits the consumer, making the competition work a little harder.
And that a major investment into a new company indicates a faith in the industry.

Great story that many of us can relate to.

Congratulations Dennis. A feat not easily accomplished, and an inspiration to others.
