VAMWorld 2.0

It was misattributed.

I never realized they minted coins after 78' , so Im lost here. Purtie coin though. :lol: Oh goodness! Of course they minted after '78. They had to have something for all those mint employees to do. With the passage of the "Work Avoidance Act" in 1871 the government had to come up with something to...

You nailed it, any 82 OR any 1D2. Thanks to kenny for reminding me I neglected to state the rules....

Tell me what you have close to 1D2 please?

Off to look at 82-O's-y's...

It would have been a VAM 30. But sans rust.

Im not really in a position to make a claim looking at a cell phone screen .How does the big gouge in the scribble area compare to VAM 1H LFCP. What about the eagles right wing ? Thanks for looking, Uncle Bingo. This one has a mark in the area of the scratch shown on the 1H but it doesn't look to b...

Ok. Hopefully I'm allowed any 1882 because the only 1882 P I have on-hand is too similar to the 1D2.

Hints:

1882 O (PCGS AU50)
Everything to ID is pictured or described in the 82 O pages

More hints available if needed.

Have fun

Oh. Haven't seen this game before but I'll play. Won't be able to post until I'm back in town Monday evening.

I just got lucky. I was going through the listings yesterday and spent some time looking at the 1D2.

I'm thinking 1D2.

Thought I'd give this a bump to see if anything shakes loose.

Close up pictures of the 1-86
Would help
Any doubling?

The top of the 6 might be doubled. And maybe the inside of the ear.

Thought it would be pretty easy to figure out which VAM this one is with the obvious PUP's it has. Long polish lines in the hair and longer and fatter ones in the tailfeathers. But after a couple trips through the list I'm drawing a blank. So, I'm turning it over to the pros who've seen a whole lot ...

If you Google Breen 7114, you'll find a few in ANACS holders that are labeled this way. Just looks like a mechanical error. A slash instead of a dash.

Nope, no clashing. That'll have to be a pick for another day.

Wow, great find and nice job with the dip, luster still appears present and you removed 99.9% of the dark tarnish preserving the coin never mind appreciating its value. How did you see that O/S with those pics. I couldn't see much on the reverse. I pulled it up on my phone, zoomed in on the mintmar...

Before and after pics. You decide if a dip was the right move. I truly believe that it was the toning that kept people from looking. Well, that and the low bids.

Jonnie

I came across this one Monday unattributed on the bay. Even through the toning I could see the heavy lines in the ear and hair so I felt sure it was a VAM 3, Couldn't really see a lot going on inside of the mintmark but I knew there had to be something there. My other VAM 3 is a late die state and I...

Awesome pickup!
Did JB or JR attribute as 101?
Look forward to seeing the listing on 1902 o page!
Another cc to add to the radar.
Congrats!!

JB has verified and set up the page. It isn't listed on the counterfeit page yet,

Thanks

This one pairs the obverse from VAM 63 with the reverse from 1901-O VAM 67. Picked it up from the bay. The seller's pictures were good enough to see rounded edges so I felt pretty sure it was counterfeit. But the date and mint mark didn't match VAM 92, the only other 02-O C4 privately made, so I was...

This one appears to match the LVA description and plates. It has rounded edges and curved lines below the right wing. The mint mark looks right. Have also found a couple of the dings shown in the field images. A picture of the full reverse would be very helpful, but as always, so will your thoughts....
