Re: Is there a trick to photographing overstruck coins to make the original more visible?

I have no axe to grind here , but I am curious about what year and MM the coin being photographed is ?

Re: 1886 VAM?

Don't know for sure ,It is just the closest thing I could find without having the coin in hand . Pretty sure the reverse is right, maybe a little later die state . However the obverse is not a 10 point match by any means ;) Screenshot 2023-10-23 222626.jpg Screenshot 2023-10-23 224900.jpg Screenshot...

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 I might add the new full date census f...

Re: Leroy Explains C4/C3 Reverses

If you think about it, this raises an interesting conundrum. At least to me it does. If this work by Leroy happened at the beginning of 1979, then is it possible that any early 1900 to 1904 VAM listings prior to 1979 could have actually been a C4/C3 reverse but listed as a C4 or C3? As such, I am a...

Re: 1902P - Has me stumped

You will probably be safe calling it a v19 . I just saw a couple reverses in this year with what might be that hub doubling thing on them :popcorn:

Re: 1902P - Has me stumped

It matches what is on that v 19 page pictures .. there is also an interesting comment on the v 22 page about hub doubling on this year . not sure if any of this is conclusive though???

Re: 1902P - Has me stumped

addition photos for v 19 look a lot like your left edge base of 1 . you might need an expert :popcorn: not sure either one of them is really a 19 though , the 19a date is more normal than very near

Re: 1886 VAM?

and I think it would take a little better look inside of the 6 and the eagles left wing . along with the date position . I can't find a match for your cracks either . bu that does not mean anything ;)

Re: 1921-D guess the grade (revealed!)

This thread reminds me of something I wanted to ask you guys . Has anyone ever sent "An Over graded" Coin back to challenge their guarantee? I just want to know if it turned out to be more hassle than it was worth ?https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/ngc-guarantee/

I guess we should start eliminating possibilities one by one . Starting with the 222's here is a link to one I really struggled with because of circulation wear .

Thanks gents. That address works much better. Is the information contained within kept updated, relevant, and considered beneficial to VAMing?

I wanted to take a look around the website tonight but many links not working; including the "Join Us" link. I'll try again later but would appreciate opinions on the usefulness of SSDC as to the hunting, history or IDing VAMS. Are the dead links an indication the site is in decline? Please PM me i...
