VAMWorld 2.0

I found I had that question when I first started looking at VAMs - was told the primary page would have the markers noted on the original VAM, and subsequent VAMs (i.e. a, b, c or .1, .2 etc. ) would only need to show the added feature which created the new VAM listing. After reading this, you'll be...

That is a great information source for one doing a study. I need to look back on here and see what you have posted from 1891. The E clash of 1891 o was informative for this collector. Thanks for posting these historical pieces of info.

I have an 1891 o VAM 4a in an ANACS holder that I would love to use to fill the SSDC empty spot (that likely doesn't exist)..... but since it is an 1890 o, I can't make myself fill that empty slot either..... LOL

Curious if any of the 93 o privately made are known to have a rotated reverse. Several years back at a local show, there was a dealer that had 5 or 6 of the 1893 o's in his stock that all looked "funny". Each of them had approximate rotation of 45 to 75 degrees. He said he had bought them all from a...

Where's the one labeled "tough VAMs"?

That's a nice one Mr. squirrel

Welcome to the madness.... take a look @ VAM 3C and 3D, might be one of those.

I'll take a wild guess and say it is one of the "privately made" varieties.

As I close in on retirement, I am looking at completing a die study of the 1891 o Morgan. I am not familiar with the necessary "permissions" needed to include info from here and other sites. Is there a guide to such? I don't want issues with anyone, but would like to include plenty of information. I...

I saved it to my computer for my notes about the 1891 o series

Congrats!!! Must be why the wind switched directions here earlier.... cause you suck BIG TIME !!

Got back an 1891 o with the belly button designation from a submission to ANACS last year. I'd have to look and see what the VAM number was. If I remember correctly it was in MS 60 or 61. I did request the designation on the submission form.

Possibly on your post you can click the little "pencil looking" box in the upper right corner and edit your original posting from there?

I'm disappointed in everyone - nobody has said "just drive on over to my house and drop it off" LOL Seriously though, careful shipment in two or 3 packages sounds like a decent plan. Good luck getting it done safely.

1943 copper cent

Maybe the 1943 P war nickel - the overdate 3/2 version

Later die state shows a small chip / break @ the 5th left star.

Well done vamnuke, busy couple days at work kept me from digging into that riddle.

Even normal mail is a bit crazy - they closed the postal sorting division in the city I live in - Everything now goes to Kansas City, then they sort out the stuff that goes back to here and it comes back a day or two later. Federal efficiency.... LOL

Very nice, one tough coin. Have been looking for one for quite a while, haven't come across one in the wild yet.
