Re: Attribution 101 Subheading Definition Table
Loren, The ship sailed a long time ago. I believe that a system was created the best it could be with the knowledge of those who made the decision at the time it was created. It is not exact. After years of folks sending one particular coin in for Leroy to determine, rather than doing some homework ...

Re: 1883-o VAM-2 - Questions Queries Posers
That’s a 2 die pair. I don’t know that I had noticed the gouge in denticles on reverse, I did not have it noted anywhere. The little streamer off the wheat kernel only show up on 4 die I have found. Nice pictures you really caught the gouges in the cotton bolls well. Do any of the denticles impressi...

Do you recognize the VAM?
I had not seen this before. It was easy to VAM once I looked for it, due to the small number of VAMs for this date/mm.

Re: COVID Business Failures O/T
Alan this post and other like it should have been shut down & deleted long ago.
This site should be about the technical/esoteric aspects of VAMs, not some of the quackery that has been posted.

Re: A cause of off-center Morgan dollars
The correspondence appears was between the coiner and the mfg company. The company provided a solution that was different and appears to be less expensive than the request. There was no need for the tools to implement the solution to stay at the mint once the solution was implemented. Suggesting oth...

Re: looks like a clash but...
Dennis, originally I thought a rotation but I just looked at a couple transparencies and it appears to me it is not rotated but one die shifted slightly about the width of the denticles where one of the outer leaves made the one smooth line headed down across the other two clash lines.

Two clashes from right wreath and one counter clash from back of lower cap.

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
I still argue the VAM 49/49A is a duplicate of VAM 1C series because: 1. The mm of one 1C1 Series actual has what was described in 49 as "Tripled O Left Inside" 2. The only reverse die with buffed reverse shown but not listed in 49A Plate, is the 1C series. VAM 1C1 mm on left VAM 23 mm on right RES_...

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
I hope it is a different Obverse Die as it would be a new die pair which are getting harder and harder to find. But I do have an early pl version of the 23 that the Doubling in the date can not be seen on the 1 and is very weak on the 8. The doubling in the date becomes more pronounced in later due ...

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
So the reverse die is the same as the 23 series. Need to figure out the obverse. You may have an earlier stage of the 23 than I have or you may have a different obverse die. I will post a few other obverse pictures to see if you have can match to your coin.

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
That picture is from a very nice coin that was gifted to me by Chuck Emery in 2013 that led to revision in VAM 23. The obverse of 23 and 23B have this scratch in the wheat stalk. If you have this in the lower left eagles wing it is 23B. 4538A6F8-85DB-4836-B58F-69D34CC019ED.jpeg 59320830-25A5-4A8E-BE...

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
Looks like a nice coin with mirrors and early. Got me a little stumped , does not appear to match lines in the 1C series mm and hard to say it matches what I see in the plates in the 2004 supplement for the 49. The stuff in the bow of your picture has got me looking at a few others. Do you see this ...

If you can, take a close up picture of the mm and post it.

Re: Hypothetical question
I have regularly seen BU rolls in the past few years with just 2 varieties in the entire roll. I seldom see other than that unless I go to a show where there appears to be many put together rolls. I suppose it depends on who and where you do your buying from.

Re: 1883 O VAM 49A - Does it Exist?
I show the first plate photos for 49 and 49A in 2004 and only of reverse. If you have something that matches the plates from 2004 for 49 or 49A or if you have a slab AOH as 49 or 49A, simply compare it to a 1C1 or 1C2 reverse. The mm position and file lines inside mm of 49 plate are a match for 1C1/...

Glad everyone is ok in Boise.
I was a few miles away from the one in SLC a few weeks ago, first experience, I’m ok if it’s my last. Nature is way more powerful than any of us and will slap you down when your not expecting it.

Re: 1903 P Reverse Hub Doubling
JB,
It appears your pictures were used in VAM 13 discovery coin, if so did you notice this doubling? I assume it would not be listed if it were hub doubling.
