VAMWorld 2.0

I get to add a new word to my vocabulary. Thank you for "schmutz"..

Here is one I bought about 25 yrs ago. The dealer made sure I knew how it was made. The story goes that the coin is drilled through the reeds perpendicular to where the mint mark will be. A special tool is inserted with an S is pressed up from inside to create the mint mark. I read that this was als...

congrats

I have never seen a 79 S clashed. I say R6/7

Really! A bit too worn.

looks new to me

Chris my 1882 S V36 look grade wise like the one on the page. You said you sent a PC67 to Leroy. Could you show any pics?

Here`s another. I figured a V 12 die #1. Yours looks nicer.

Chris I still have 4 concave obv. Hoping for a V37. I have one V35 for sure. And 3 V36. Except they do not have the die chip, all the other markers are there. Here are pics. of the 3 V36

On the VAM lists discovery history how do you add new discoveries and revisions?

Ahh... history. Here in Sacramento The pols would buy a bullet train to nowhere. Back then the gov. got it right.

Absolutely beautiful coins. Love those concave obverses. I had to change 3 coins to V35 and V36. I still have 2 more to check. Thanks

Kenny.... I recognized him also. I don`t understand the hatred? If you don`t like his opinions, move on.

Great job Chris. For those that like gouges check out the 1890 CC VAM 13 revision and read Leroy`s letter in the LVA Comments. Great photos from LVA. It sure feels rewarding to get recognition from Leroy. Congrats Chris, well done.

I sent 10 today

Is that graded 55 /58?

Thank you Vamsterdam. That should settle it. That explains a lot.

Who/what is google [Bot] ?

I believe I`m out of ideas for now! Your coin has the 5D markers. Really I have no need to see your coin. It`s got the rev. arrowhead dots. Good enough for me.

One more time I looked. Using your method I have 4th star right side and both sides of the 6th left star. Appears a little shifted from yours, mine being counter-clockwise from yours. Brian
