VAMWorld 2.0

The O mint was sold from the mint at the same 10 per household as the CC, but seems to auction @ 2/3's the price of the CC, so it's still wonky on the Ebay!

Actually saw one seller have set, 1 of each 4 privy's on Ebay, sold at $1,000. Think there will be XXXX hitting the fan in October!

Opinion Time on the New Morgans- If the Mintage is 175K for each privy, why are the CC's reselling for more, as each coin is 1 out of 175K? Just a mindset? Do you think that the 2021 Set be included "by the gods" as part and to complete the Master Set of Date/Mint Mark? NGC is offering Grading, do y...

It's crazy, but any guess on why a hole was started? maybe the guys that make rings? IDK more curious than anything, I have seen multiples like this now, fool me once....

Chasing down a thrifty MS 1887s, been one of the simpler white whales that we all have. Have a Vam 2 just want a VAM 1 and I ran across this on the Bay. It was highly reflective, great detail, probably a 62, except in my excitement at $65, I did not see the start of a drill hole in the ear. Not only...

Are Rim cuds common on Hot Lips?

But what if it's online and my hand is not Digital?

Please enlighten me-

Saw a "graded" MS 63 NGS Coin, Not NGC...

Call me a Newb, but should I walk away?

And the photoshop skills get better- 26 sales!

I have been struggling with the same crossroad in collecting, coupled with being thrifty and archival... We have a nice DSLR but the zoom was never good enough to catch the detail. I will dig through my lenses , build my "Stoodio" and re-start my digital records. Thanks- I am closer now thanks to Km...

What Zoom lens is that?

To All:

I believe the plan forward will be to get it professionally graded .... So which agency is the "choice" for VAM's and curiosities?

NGC-PCGS-ANACS????

PacificWR- Thanks so much. That flat, uniform pattern between the field and the stars/face is exactly what I have on my 1900p. I did notice that beneath the date seems to be a stippling, maybe die-pitting/rust? I am attaching another picture. I have come to the realization that I need to spend more ...

It's not glue, it's silver, you lost your nuts!

I do not find any stress (buckle) evidence of an EDS. There is a very small Die crack on the upper letters of UNITED on the reverse. I do not see any pitting or evidence of a rust. I am attaching a close up of the impression in question... still trying to get my photo skills up to par.. coins are to...

It is actually pressed deeper around the stars, and the edges of that die ridge created have tarnished.
The field in the area between Liberty's Face and the stars is coarser than the field behind her head.

I made a recent purchase of a 1900 P Morgan Silver Dollar. I was drawn to the coin from the over-stamped field to the left of Liberty's face. The die has left a shiny, deeper field around all 7 left stars and along Liberty's face from her lips to the lower tip of her neck, and along the denticles. T...
