VAMWorld 2.0

Get in to Orlando at 2:30; will check in and head over

V80 is a neat die variety, available in EDS without polish lines, 80A & 80B, and the Obv die shared with 85,86 and 8tf V 22A & B.

I was napping on New Year’s Day :( ; 1i is still a hole; as for photos, it’s a tough job to keep pages up to date. With help from others I was able to get the 78-S V71 and V63 pages updated. On my to-do list for 2020 is to put together a 78-P B2 reverse set attribution guide; nothing like a good ref...

Looked thru the Ebay archives; BIN unatrributed 8tf; bargain basement price. Great pick!

type in the cert. # on the ANACS web site and shows invalid; also this type of holder not shown.

Yeah, population 1; and a heartfelt thanks to JR and ANACS!

Arriving Wed afternoon; departing mid day Sat. I look forward to seeing everyone!

Holes in my 78-P and 78-S SSDC sets.

Congrats, JR! I’m sure you’ll find the remaining 3. I try to add one here or there. I have an ungraded & unattributed V13 in a hard case coming in the mail; will likely come your way at FUN. My guess is 62/63; should have better idea once in hand. The 78 GSA set is quite the challenge.

The problem is only with the specialty 1878-CC GSA set. Not an option to add from the drop down box. There’s no problem with the regular 1878-CC set, and I can choose to list in my 1878-First Year Basic set if I wanted to. Anyway, no immediate concern; i’m way far back in a distant 3rd in that set, ...

For whatever reason, the SSDC “1878-CC GSA Morgans” set does not and will not recognize my PCGS graded coins. I tried to delete from the registry and re-register, making sure both GSA blocks were checked when registering to no avail. I know PCGS was late into the GSA grading game.

In a new letter from LVA on coins submitted back in late summer: 1878-S is now split. DIE 1: obverse shared with V81 DIE 2: obverse shared with V71 Nothing new here; others tried before; fortunately I was able to submit high grade coins for comparison and was able to point out a couple of subtle mar...

Back from LVA; since the coin is only VG, needs to see better grade coin with more detail; thus, it will not be listed, so I have a unique no-VAM. Maybe someday someone will find a better example that will list. :| On a bright note, listings for V63, 71 & 81 to be updated. V63 die 1 obverse shared w...
