Re: view census
The census in the SSDC registry is current. If you enter a coin - it is in the census quick as those electrons can do their thing. The "census" that can be found on some of the VAMworld pages - is NOT current. Other censuses - who knows! Hope this helps. VAMon

What is a Die Study?Quote johnhenry9009 by johnhenry9009 » Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:16 pm This may be a dumb question but I have been wondering about what a Die Study is and how one is done. I know that it probably means the progressing of a Die or Dies that eventually deteriorate or suffer a failure tha...

Re: Vam identification purely from placement of design elements
The date position is routinely guaged but relative position to the denticles.

Re: 1880-P VAM-98 Discovery
I have "restored" the 1880-P VAMs-60 & 62 such that they are no longer "dubious". I have also split 1880-P VAM-70 into 70.1 & 70.2 both in the registry and on VAMworld 2.0. Good work - hope you get your kills on 1B and 42.2.

Re: SSDC
The SSCD has 2 sites - the SSDC registry & VAMworld 2.0. VAMworld is open to anyone & the SSDC registry is open to the members. There are other sites where the SSDC may well be featured but they are not "ours". What site - exactly- are you referring to?

Re: 1891-P VAM-13 still a "2 for 1" find?
How it came to be.......The plate photos on the 13 page were of the 13A. The reasoning - there is a line of logic that says if there is a clashed version of something - there should be an unclashed version. Not always. There are situations when a die was clashed and then remated with a new (other) d...

It is not the coins or the market that are dead - just an individuals enthusiasm.

Re: Is there a trick to photographing overstruck coins to make the original more visible?
I have a lot I'd love to send to you, vampicker, can't afford the shipping with enough insurance to feel safe. Certainly can't afford the expensive equipment mentioned here, or even to rent, but knowing what equipment could be used is a start, maybe I'll find a person/company/university lab/museum ...

Re: 1904-O-VAM-30 Die 1. Interesting anomaly in IBE.
I am not sure that - at least the far left part of said aberration - is not a strike thru, The smiley bit does not look like a die feature but .... It IS a aberration no doubt!

Re: 1878-S VAM 8.1 discussion
YES Please! I realize there is a load of work involved but I - like you - really do not like the multiple die pairs for a VAM & I would like to see them all dealt with. Starting here is a great plan! After the change is made on VAMworld - I will fix the registry to reflect the new changes.

Re: 1898 Vam 10 or 12?
Fogie would be happy to "help" but is on the road for the next couple of weeks. When I get back home I will try to liberate the necessary coins from the bank and see what I can do to help.
