VAMWorld 2.0

Thanks for the informative thread. Please correct me if I am wrong. If keilg1 can locate a LFCP of the 1902-P Vam-2 Obverse, the coin he has pictured above will be a New Discovery Coin? Sounds good to me, but I have made some assumptions. The coin pictured above (FCO) is indeed a 1902-P Vam-2 Leonar...

I will give you my advice . Its a good time to buy whatever makes you smile !

Probably the only sane and sage advice - now and in the future...

Thank you very much for your help ! How rare is it and how to value it ? Welcome Bibibam , I may have misled you with my "nice coin" comment. I don't mean it is not a nice coin, but rather I should have said, "Nice coin to me. As for "how rare it is", and the "Value", they have a link for that here...

Regardless of its size, the collar clash would be added to the existing listing as a note unless a specimen without one can be found.

Thank you, John

Would the http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... llar_Clash page need update also?

Note unlisted collar clash below PEACE .

Looks like that collar clash could make 60 degrees of circumference required. Nice coin!

Thank you, Bob!

Hey Bob, After reading and looking at the Zeiss link you provided. I was reminded of this method called Focus Stacking . This is when you take multiple images of a coin, variating just the focal point in each; stack/or layer all these images together and form just one image. I used it on my last pho...

I am hoping this is the photo you mentioned above: Gcs78s around 8.JPG Here is another photo I just took. I think you can see the elevation of the anomaly much better. That P.M. scratch across both surfaces and on the surface of the '7' is a good pick-up for that raised elevation change. IMO gcs_187...

Thanks, Bob. I've looked at that anomaly in the 'date at the first eight' for years now and I am still not sure what it is. I would like to poke that scab-looking crust piece, circled in this photo; just to see what the surface is like underneath. 1878-S_scab_anomaly.JPG The 'cracks' make it look li...

Hello, Has anyone here on this site experimented with Linux & numismatics? This Google Docs thing that I have been playing with here does not seem to be easily available to everyone. Too bad; it has a lot of interesting features. [/u] This Linux thing is interesting also! ...On a learning curve... T...

Wow! Thank you.

All I moved was the location of the light source (a single gooseneck lamp). Thank you. It sure makes a huge difference just moving that light source. May I ask how you go about doing the comparison with the 1921-D scribbles guide? I am trying this split-screen thing on this computer. On the left is...

Dennis;

In the first three photos of coin #1:

What was the thing(s) you changed to get three different perspectives?
Lighting, light direction, f-stop change, photoshop maybe? I see just enough 'hints' to know they are all the same coin.

thanks

I am attempting to follow posts with the intent of helping if I can. I have to admit I am completely lost. Here is a page I kind of started and feel a little responsible for: http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1922-D_VAM-2CG. I would like to help @PacificWR get rid of those...

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I tend to get off topic .LOL I guess I need to see if the SSDC Data base values for the original coin in question has been amended to give a better idea of what a 1890-O VAM 20 in a AU 53 really is ? I will have to start a new topic and get someone else to explain just what makes some...

Thanks colwillys I went searching for a chisel to do the 'deed' for my first time. I found this on the chisel. maybe a little OT, but my guess is this company had a lot in common with coin die-making. Has a hardened 'edge holding' layer of metal when you look at the chisel profile. The top layer is ...

Hello Bob, Vaughn has a long history of making quality hand tools. I looked on youtube just to see what was the best recommendation for a coin extraction from Thee third-party holder. There were a lot of good, no damage to the coin , ideas. Sounds like a lot of folks are dissatisfied with the TP sea...

Will you be using an Estwing?
A good tool but may not be the best choice for what you have in mind.
