VAMWorld 2.0

I love reading old newspapers and this article caught my eye. A reporter's tour of the Philadelphia Mint in 1885 explaining how silver dollars are made. It starts on the first column under "The Silver Dollar". A good read. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85034235/1885-12-17/ed-1/seq-1/#dat...

... Since many of these date digits ended up in the denticles, I believe the person doing the punching put his own mark on the die in order to say to his friends & family that he put that there on a piece of American history. JMO Remember that we're looking at stuff that nobody saw for 100 years. N...

Unless we get a historical confirmation from the person who did the punching, we shall never know. I do have my own theory on this based on my own woodworking career. Being a craftsman and like many other craftsman, we like to put our mark on our work that does not interfere with the whole look of t...

Just to clarify. This is how a NGC 1921-S holder should look like. Dennis's NGC holder just needs an extra "S".

21-S VAM 1BF?

Here is another example of a big TPG's getting the wrong VAM number on the slab and it is a obvious one. I did see this one at auction and had reservation about it because of no pic of the date. The only one I trust without a pic of the pick up point is the newer attributed ANACS slabs. I have seen ...

Awesome details or not.

Some folks are born with the lackadumdum gene and some aren't Patrick. That's all I can come up with.

That lackadumdum gene must have alot of money to spend.

This 1903-O MS 63 Morgan usually sells in the $700 range but this one sells on the bay for over $2800. I really don't see anything special about other than it does have a cac sticker which brings slightly more but not $2100 more. What made this Morgan sell at this price? Is it the old NGC holder? Th...

I'd like to buy the 1921-D VAM 1ES.

THANKS Dennis. 1921-D VAM 1ES - SOLD!

BUMP.
I have lowered prices on the entire list for sale above.

Hopefully whoever won pays up. Then take the money and run.

Congrats Ray.

Agree with grade. I would say try for a regrade. Do you think I should liberate her and send to JB with a bulk submission or just have them reconsider it. I personally don’t think it’s been cleaned . At least with my 10x magnification If it were mine, I think I would send in a bulk submission or AN...

All I can say is "WOW".

Congrats on the VAM 76 PL63. That is a tough one. I would be interested if ever decide to sell.

I usually buy the coin and not the holder. All TPG's are suspect in some of their grading on some Morgans. I take my business to ANACS because of VAMpicker because he is one of the best in the field of VAM attribution.

Might want to double check your eBay page and make sure it's not sitting there as an unpaid item. It's likely you ended the listing when you hit Buy It Now Thanks for the suggestion but no its not there. Never received any emails stating I bought it either. I can still see the listing on my "Recent...
