VAMWorld 2.0

The significant attribution of the 86 die 3 is the polishing lines in the tail feathers.

I recently found a raw 1878-S V-86 die 3.
Here is a photo of the horizontal polishing spikes at wing edge below In.
VAMWorld does not have a photo of this attribute.
The VAMWorld description of die 3 says two spikes; it appears to me there may be a short third spike down from the upper spike.

fogie -- thanks for the info about PL-ish 91A.

How about more of you 78-S vammers check your 91A for PL-ish fields and reply in this discussion topic.

messydesk asked above – “Is either VAM 48 or 84 earlier die state with respect to the reverse?” I have two V-48, a 65 and a 64. The 65 on reverse has a die crack that is above the E of AMERICA, then goes on the top of the R, then goes to the top of I. Also, the first has a die crack at top and betwe...

messydesk said above -- “If presented with evidence that the EDS obverse has the gouge in the cap, I'll be more likely to eliminate VAM 91 A and keep 91”. For VAM-91 A the SSDC registry census lists 18 with 1 detail, 2 PL and 2 DMPL. I have four 91 A -- ANACS 63, NGC 63, PCGS 63, and PCGS 65. The AN...

Thank you for responding Tim.
Appears V91 should be removed>

John B. - thanks for offering to check for a list of the "lost" coins.

Was a list made available of the “lost” coins?

What is the story of the USPS snafu?

It appears that fogie might have the PCGS MS63.
Larry Briggs may still have the SEGS 62 PL.

The census lists two V-91 -- a PCGS 63 and a SEGS 62 PL.
I did not check every 78-S set to see if any of the current set holders have a 91.
The Profile for the 78-S date set shows "Hidden or Unclaimed".
LVA's 78-S Attribution book lists Larry Briggs as discoverer of V-91.

One of these, the V-67, has had discussion back in 2019 and 2020. The predominant opinion was that the V-67 and V-104 are the same. Here are some of my notes from Jan 2020 Introduction The 78-S VAM-67 was discovered Feb 2002 by Calvin Cherry; no revisions for VAM-67. Currently (Jan 2020) there are n...

I entered two 96-S a little while ago
I checked the "My Inventory" and they were there.
I then rebuilt the sets and things seem to be okay for my 78-S set.

The Error Trends Coin Magazine small booklet titled Mint Errors on Carson City Silver Dollars ©1973, has quite a few pictures and seven pages of information on this 82-CC off-center.

Yes, please put a list here on this discussion.

Do you still live in east central Illinois ?

Thank you Bigbub.

Mitch,
Thanks for giving it a try.

I was checking out a 78-S VAM-82 and noticed a gouge on the obverse. The gouge starts at the lower edge of the ribbon cap, goes to the left; looks like it goes under a small hair curl then stops at the next hair curl. Another very short part of the gouge is way over to the left almost to Liberty’s n...
