Re: ?

Both your orders are heading back to the office. And I do the Peace VAMs as well as just about any other variety you can think of

No if they are graded, it's the reholder fee plus the verification or attribution fee

Probably makes more sense to send the slabbed coin to JB unless you really want it regraded

First VAM Thing

I was looking for something else, but ran across a video of the inaugural VAM Thing meeting, the only one I haven't attended .

Re: Undoubtedly a NEW 1895-P variety!

Several of you have actually seen me with one of these in hand. "Presentation Piece" is a very generous term

Re: Undoubtedly a NEW 1895-P variety!

Hate to tell you this, but its mate has been the subject of numerous blackmail auctions as the closing act at VAM Thing. Ash was the latest victim.

Did I cross a line on that other reply of mine?
Nope, VAM 6 hit my annual list in 2012, while VAM 8 was on the 2019 list. A guy probably wouldn't go wrong with either or both.

Re: A 2012 John Roberts apparitional find?

It's an interesting effect and caused by the same thing that makes some EDS RPMs or OMMs show less of the secondary mintmark than their later stages. It takes more than one blow to sink a mintmark to the desired depth. Each blow from the punch displaces metal in the die face. When the blows aren't a...

Re: Something feels off in the world today

It's fun to have goals. And heck, I just might even get within striking range of you two in a bit. Heritage just helped me out by selling a MS63 VAM 7A that nobody else seemed interested in, so that will boost my set... Yeah, I see you moving closer too. That Andy feller has more slots filled than ...

Re: Rim ???

It looks like it was struck in Carson City. I think this is from slop between the collar and the dies, but I don't know that for certain. Is the rim more pronounced than usual on the reverse?

Re: 1883-O NEW VAM 66 Questions

Is the marker in the foot of the T of LIBERTY present? if it is, you're done. If not, then it's not VAM 66. The clashmarks are irrelevant to the listing itself, but can be helpful for comparisons. It looks like they are in the same location from the images of your coin and the discovery piece.
