VAMWorld 2.0

a rare bird , have only seen a few

and then there is that 1890 o VAM 4C

WOW just WOW....

Curious about the raised bumps at edge of denticles - ejection damage?

Congrats my friend.... it's a story like this that keeps me looking for that ever elusive VAM. A well deserved "WOW" to you!

Rumor has it there are photos floating around somewhere of a few folks from VW holding 2 of those at the same time.

Bunch of bad looking listings by this seller https://www.ebay.com/sch/dyerjasond83/m ... ksid=p3692

It is in an ANACS VAM 20 holder - EF40 details / scratched (unless they are calling that the scratch?)

Opinions please. Did a couple retakes on the photos to show possible gouge better. appears it continues into the letter I of LIBERTY

VAM 3 says multiple pairing might exist, perhaps the doubling was missed on the earlier VAM listing. The pitting looks to be the same on both examples?

Thanks to Kenny and others, for all your updates and photos from FUN.

Am I reading correctly that a second log in is needed to edit on the site? If so, how does one find where to get one? thanks

My 2nd example of the gouge in denticles left of date arrived, both coins also have filled denticles from the 2nd 1 in the date over to the 2nd right star. Not listable due to not reaching the field, but an easy PUP which helped me find this example.

Just an opinion, but if you compare the 2 larger photos of the scribbles on the VAM 3BV page, you will see that some of the scribbles have faded / disappeared on the second (lower photo) example. I would say if your coin has all the other features, it is likely 3BV, but a later, more worn die state ...

But I am waiting to receive a second example of the gouge at date coin - in much lower grade, but only second example I have seen.

Let me be the first to say congratulations.......... and you suck!!

Nice to see a few familiar faces from when I attended FUN a few years back. Good luck with the pickin' and thanks for keeping those of us that couldn't be there updated.

Thanks for the great photos Kenny. Looking forward to seeing more from the show. Reminds me of being overwhelmed by the immensity of it when I was able to attend a few years back.
