Thanks for all the help. The 3FT cracks match perfectly. However mine has no scribbles I can see with my 10X lens. It seems to have been polished out. This pic from the wiki looks just like mine. Does that make mine LDS? By the way, 3FT is not listed in the 16 berry crack guide.

That's what I thought before I got it in hand. Crack hits the D in the wrong spot.

Anyone have a formula for getting mustard stains off an N-95 face mask? It will be needed if F.U.N. happens.

Club soda and Lysol.

Found this pic under V-12, it says "This "marker" may be a hub defect or a design feature". Anyone know the answer? Mine has this also.

Mine has features I cannot find on the wiki. 1898o (2).jpg This chip on the 9. 1898o (3).jpg Nostril and mouth scratches. 1898o (7).jpg Scratches on rev. There are fine lines that did not photograph where I drew the blue lines. 1898o (8).jpg And these "smudges" that almost look like clashes. Any hel...

Thanks for the help. I looked again and my #2 coin is a VAM-4.

rogerg

I'm probably wrong but, I thought VAM-1 was "reserved" for coins with no differing features. Hence my first question, 81-S VAM-1 listing says "Some specimens show die chips between loops on both sides of first eight". Are there so many "chip and non-chip" coins that they are both normal? Also, I too...

Other pics I took. A few of the coins on display. A scale used to weigh ore and bullion.

Does the VAM-49 discovery piece have these die scratches ?
I think mine is an EDS .
It has no die cracks.

rogerg

OUTSTANDING !!! Mine is a 105. Thank you so much for your help. Good luck with your "discovery". I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

rogerg

There are three dies listed for this variety. Are there three different versions of the same VAM ?
Also, my coin has the upper wing line but none of the other markers. What am I not understanding, please ?

Can anyone confirm this? I have looked at all 1900-O listings and the 53 is the only one I can find that has a similar date and mint mark. The spur-like chip on the third star and polish lines under the chin on mine aren't mentioned markers. 1900-o mm.jpg 1900-o chin.jpg 1900-o date.jpg 1900-o 3rd s...

Found these two pics on 1900-O page, clearly not the same date position. Thought someone would want to know.
