Re: 1934-S Vam3?

You realize that would require a 180° die rotation, right? Yes JB, I do realize this. I am just looking at that Vast realm of possibilities..... I can visualize this new guy at work during the Great Depression. His first day on the job at the Mint running a press. He is trying to realign and instal...

Re: 1934-S Vam3?

If the seller is getting his pricing info from unsold lots on eBay, I'm sure he'll be happy with his joining them as unsold lots. It does seem the coin has been cleaned, but that's because there's some remaining black gunk on it. The hairlines I'm seeing in the picture aren't really screaming "hars...

Brand new copy of Roger's book would cost you less than $50. Well worth the price to be able to just turn around and grab it off your own shelf.
I have been thinking that very same thing... Spend a little of this stimulation check and maybe benefit this great hobby. Win, win.
Thanks vampicker

Borrow a copy of From Mine to Mint from the ANA Library. That should get you started on US Mint equipment and processes.
The ANA library is closed right now due to virus. I did get it on my to read list for later. They have six copys they lend out. Thanks RogerB

Working Die alignment in a Peace Dollar coin press

Hello everyone, I am hoping someone here can point me in a direction to learn more about how dies are aligned in the coin press. This new ANA membership JB turned me onto has quite an extensive library access available for the members, it seems. The use of those cylindrical steel rods as dies sure s...

Re: 1934-S Vam3?

I wonder also if their is much of a market for the Peace Vams. We sure do have a bunch of raw ones in my neck of the woods. They seem kind of hard to read. I like those Morgans much better I guess. They are not afraid to tell you their story. How would one solicit the help of Dr. Close? I sure do ap...
