...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...

...I am curious what the edge view photo of this coin would look like.

any guesses? Thanks in advance.

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

It is one worn coin.

Here is a photo of a regular 1921-S coin edge... for comparison:
abt. same circ. wear.

...coin edge photos are not easy; but it may be the New unexplored Frontier for Vams.

Ya I searched partial collar on the VW wiki page and it brought that up . I was just confused as to what partial collar actually was . 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...

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...

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.

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...

I noticed my mistake. I will fix. Thanks JR

I was trying to find a sample coin with the LEB1 and the REB1 were between the denticles. This one has to be close...

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

I have not determined the DPIS of the above pictured '1'. On the perpetual learning curve... Thanks for any comments.

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 . Thanks from one of the new guys ! edit typo :) Hey Bob. Lets try one [1]! You first. (I have bett...

I agree. LE4RH5.

Got it! Thanks John.

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...

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...

May be so. I can't find a page like that.

"when is a doubled profile a doubled profile?" I've had similar questions concerning date placement - near, far or slanted? And mint mark position and tilt. My education is a work in progress. As for PUP photos to be added to the VAM listing pages, I think Ihnumis1 has provided a few, especially th...

I am pursuing this interesting area with the equipment and knowledge I have available to me here, at this time. Disappointing and woefully inadequate so far...I was unable to get the http://friture.org with my OS; which is understandable. I did download two other software apps. courtesy of Google. (...

The huge problem is, the 1921-D Die Crack Break Guide is horribly not up to date. Only 77 different VAMs are represented in it, out of the 228 that currently exist. I would like to try and help fix this somehow. Any ideas how I can contribute? I own 3 raw, circulated 1921-D that you folks have seen...

I read some where mustard seeds are very small . lots of metaphors in stories , no matter the source , hopefully for the good and not the other one . nothing exists without its opposite . might have read that some where as well . the edit thing is like peshure on steroids, sorry I'm just babbling :...
