VAMWorld 2.0

But the question is about the rumor... so, yes, there has been a trade dollar branch mint proof rumor?

There are lots of rumors out there. Including some about JB, JR, DC, LVA, etc. but we shant mention any of the details of those...

Nice story, nice list of FUN!

Thanks, @RogerB. Another amazing trove of treasure to sift through.

Agree. Nothing on the front would indicate the potential 'E' transfer on the reverse but the low clash line along the bottom left wreath leaves suggests it might have been possible. Still nice to ask about because that would have been a wickedly cool find!

Hi messydesk , vampicker and/or fogie , I asked alefzero about updating the VNA page and he recommended asking any/all of you what might be done. I'm happy to make the following recommended changes if you say the word - but I don't want to confuse things. Recommended changes: Remove the header about...

Brilliant. The break certiainly looked different but one can never tell exactly what is going on until the coin is in an expert's hands.

Loads of other lessons here for us - how to ask good questions, how to stay focused, how to reply kindly to one another, etc.

Putting a few details on a trip for me back to the US in Octobet and it might include a trip on the weekend to the https://www.rockymtnexpos.com/ I've seen advertised. I already see ANACS will be there, unexpectedly as it IS in their back yard, but who else will be around?!

An incredible piece of work that I completely applaud - and am the direct beneficiary of as Jonnie's work helped me nail down at least 3 of my problem children (difficult to attribute varieties of this date).

Thanks mate!

$40 (only because it's in-between $0.99 and the next higher value -- and it won last time)...

My cert. Does not match - dang! Looks like yours is still on the loose. Would be fun to play 'incest interest' ... following coins that pass from person to person outside of direct sales. I occasionally release a known but NAOH coin into the wild to see if/when it shows up again. Unfortunately I ha...

Crikey - a lot of nice 79S acid, and the 92O, 95O and 95S are the stuff dreams are made of... Be curious to learn if the 79S VAM-73 has a registery number of 2570360-004 and was bought in Pittsburgh? If so, this was one I let back into the wild a few years ago. Not a rare coin that I remember but a ...

I could have simply bought you a fish Give a man a fish, he eats for lunch but teach a man to fish, he eats for days. :lol: Correction: GCarlin quote.jpg And he and his buddies will LIE LIE LIE about what they caught, what they spoke about and why they didn't come home until 11:45pm...

Chatted with some coin folks in the UK and they agreed 'overbuffed' was not the correct term, too. They liked the fun varieties I've shown them: 1880-O VAM-45A, my 1880-O VAM-81 DC, 1881-O VAM-16, 1883-O VAM-1C1 and 1C2, and the 1890-O VAM-13A amongst others... Trying my best to generate excitement ...

I've threatened to do a book or catalog of my collection of pieces with coining presses and the like. Seems like a project for when I retire or semi-retire at this rate. The jetons are surprisingly affordable for the most part. These two are both originals rather than later restrikes. Both are silv...

More lightly: We all might benefit from admitting we're all part of a community with divine aspirations, run by three Saints (two Johns and one David), one of which is also a self-described Lord Shiva (at least the destroyer of our dreams), we pray everytime we're sitting at the bourse altar, er tab...

Stunning.

Doubling of the eagle's head identical on mine... as is the doubled "In" shown on the VAM-10 page. Can't wait to hear from a recovered @fogie when he's back in the saddle...

I'm wondering if the reverse was first used for the 24 and then the 10 as the PL coin I have in hand has all the same rev PUPs as yours with the exception of the center of the bow being just as polished as the rest of the fields and very clear (and mirrored in this case!). A few pics to show what I ...
