Re: guess which 1888-O

And by VAMPIRE I hope you mean taking pictures of mirrors with no reflection , or glare or out of focus, and very pretty cause that is what MR . D can do , and he does it very well ! Yes Bob, that is exactly what I meant. The other was my feeble attempt to promote the digital camera instead of a sc...

Re: 1892 V 3 partial collar question

...Bob, I grabbed your question from above; hope its OK to do: @Geseas is yours a reversed partial collar, or undulated or something else ? All I can think of now is putting a 1/2 lb. of burger into the press. When you squeeze down the round ball of the burger, (the hammer unto the anvil with burger...

The key to this partial collar business is that Edge View Photograph; as JB states above.

My 92-P is not , i'ts just struck a little off center...as far as I know every V3 could be a little bit off center strike , very extensive doubling on it . I mean y...

Re: 1892 V 3 partial collar question

My apologies , as you can see i need to actually read everything while searching and not just look at the pictures... off center strike and partial collar are in fact two separate things . :lol: http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/Partial_Collar sorry for the confusion Than...

Re: Attribution 101 page question

Thanks you guys for getting me on the right path again. I think the DPIS will prove to be a great tool. Maybe think about putting it into the Definitions page with a link? Just a thought.

Re: Attribution 101 page question

I believe I have some explaining to do... I was not familiar with the DPIS system and wanted to give it a try with UNCLE BINGO as my mentor. I grabbed a photograph of a Morgan date; cropped the photo to show just the base crossbar of the 'ONE' and the denticles underneath. I posted this and then rea...

@UNCLE BINGO No problem at all. Vamworld is here to help with stress also. ;)

Re: Attribution 101 page question

i Like the DPIS , although it is not really something my brain carries around with it quite yet , it is better and more scientific in my own feeble mind than the subjectivity involved in MM placement .

Re: Attribution 101 page question

Stuff like this is the exact reason I prefer the DPIS . For this example, I'd call it LE4RH5 . This is new to me. Could anyone suggest a way for me to learn more about this? (for a simple person) :) Thanks for a great site! * http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6141&p=51376&hilit=dpis...

Re: ….wow….

Does not appear genuine to me. Seems counterfeiters are getting pretty specific. Well done, Mark, JB, Dennis, et all - this is a next generation counterfeit. Imagine once they start making these out of silver. Or even melted down Morgan dollars. Or artificially, giving them the appropriate bag mark...
