VAMWorld 2.0

Good to inform and great learning experience that many of us have gone through.

DHalliday tag line always rings in my ear when I am tempted.... "When in doubt.... don't"

@SilverToken It looks to me like they have 2 business strike" copies" scheduled July 13th , 2 proof strike" copies" scheduled AUG 9 and possibility 2 reverse proofs scheduled for the fall of 2023 . All I could find was S and P mints however ..... https://catalog.usmint.gov/coins/coin-programs/morga...

Really confused on Ebay...

There are listings for CC, D and O 2023 Morgans (pre-order, First stike, Early Release, etc.), yet the mint only is offering P & S.

Are these bogus or am I missing something?

I really hate the fact about the "unopened".. when all the big dealers end up with 70's and yours magically comes back as a 67.... no explanation... and you couldn't crack the box. Remember to request the packaging back, it is not automatic.

Thanks for the images. I am trying to focus in on the little feathers that are near the wing base and the legs, where the famous "comma" feather is. I am finding that these feathers evolved differently in the VAMS and it helps to at least pin down which stage of reverse die was being used. There is...

And how many 1899 micro o's have been discovered.... so far?

It stirs the brain

Truly Excellent.

The mind bends at the work to create this, as well as all of the stories made and bought by those super circulated dollars.

How many years did it take to create the set, as a guess?

Those don't come up for sale too often. Here is everything I have since 2020: 1889-O 13B 62 ANACS May-23 E $754 1889-O 13B 58 PCGS Aug-20 E $500 1889-O 13B 58 PCGS Jan-22 E $351 1889-O 13B 55 PCGS Feb-23 E $176 1889-O 13B 55 ANACS Jun-22 E $115 1889-O 13B 53 ANACS Aug-22 E $250 1889-O 13B 53 PCGS J...

1889-O 13B Crumbled stars, Raw coin, EF 40-45, 26.65 g

Cotton gouges appear off, date seems lower on 4 & 14, but that may be refracting through lucite. I'm gonna kindly say it doesn't match. Sometimes I set it down for a week and let my Eyes and brain focus again. Are rims different between mints? I'm noticing that edge by luck and if they are that woul...

Looks like a near (and slightly slanted) date without a severe tilt to the mint mark (ruling out the VAM-10) so the only other option would be the VAM-11 based on descriptions. Without proper pictures on the webpage it'll be difficult to nail down but I'd say you're most likely right. Thank You for...

And just how many did the Perrott's Buy? 1$ in 1954 = $11.54 today... and these awards were morphed into 1985 100 Year that can always be found on the bay!

My Beautiful Wife has amazing sleuthing skills.

Your 1897 "Silver Token" evidently has to do with an old internet system known as "Radio" that was fueled by Double Cola!

Hope this helps your quest

More pics

As there isn't many 98-S Vams to go through, I think this fits LVA's Vam 11... slanted near date, upright mm. Alas, no pic's This coin has a tremendous amount of notable cracks that I don't find mentioned on other 98-S. Obverse- Hair V, Field though hair beneath hair V, U though Cap, Hair though Lib...

Thanks for your response. The re-posting of your VAM-14 does exist was helpful, I need to get my Discussion Forum searching skills dialed in. The reverse matches the tail gouges as well as the bump in the field by the left talon to a tee. Furthermore, there is no gouge in the eagle neck gap as pictu...

Reverse Images

The recent 82-P VAM 20 string spurred me to re-examine my meager 82's and this lost child popped up. I noticed that it had the hair curl gouge which lead me to the VAM 14 which states "MAY NOT EXIST". I then went to the VAM 31 and I believe the cotton gouge and the "1" gouge differ. On the reverse t...

1880-P Supposed to be Vam 9.. Was a Vam 10. It is at least a MS-62 and the price was right so a Keeper anyway-

Makes sense, love that frozen Denver grease!
