Values?

Plenty on eBay. Check there.

Just checking. If anyone has a 85-S VAM-6, can you check the reverse upper tail feathers and see if your coin has the same "dots"? They look raised to me which means they are incuse on the die, and could be spaced the same as denticles, i.e., denticle impressions. I might add they are repeatable on...

Thanks for posting this. May as well add one to your collection. They are attractive, after all.

Have the parts of the coin been weighed to confirm that the planchets involved were the right weights?

"Die File Lines" is a weird term. Sometimes they refer to aggressive die polishing, typically to remove clashes. Other times, they refer to these patches of parallel lines that are created gradually by the die being scraped by the feed fingers, such as on this coin. Whether this coin is VAM 1CL or 1...

Per new discovery guide, posting this here. 1897-S received today. The MM and date I consider within normal range. I'm fairly certain that's an unlisted eagle neck gouge and the wing-neck gap seems very unique with a heavy scratch up top. Remnents of a chip and clash on the left wreath. Lines aroun...

Thanks JB. Is that die pair study material available to me? If not, what would you do if in my shoes? VM 2.0 is all know for attributing my coins. Sending it to you is certainly an option. TIA Unfortunately, the guide is not redistributable. If you were to send it to me, I'd figure out what to call...

Exceedingly cool! I assume a multi-coin slab is in its future.

The bit under the eagle's jaw is a clash mark. I found a match for the reverse in a die study that Alan Scott did and based on auction and CoinFacts photos and he said it's pretty "Plain Jane," possibly VAM 1 or 3, but the thread impression you show isn't mentioned. The date might qualify for slight...

I'm not sure how many members knew him, but I was informed that long-time member Dave700x passed away last September 22. He was last active here shortly before his death and was a member on the original VAMWorld site. The news was first posted on a CCF thread last week.

Similar to the damaged denticles on the 87-S VAM 2A. Not exactly sure how that would happen, though.

Nostril seems right. U in UNITED is just damage. Lots of doubling and tripling on 1878 obverses. Not everything is called out in the specification for these VAMs, otherwise they'd become unnecessarily long.

10 Best Photo Viewers for Windows 11 in 2023

I've only ever used IrfanView and was going to recommend it, but figured I'd go look for a list of viewers.

There was a monster clashed 1976s proof wuarter that might have been in joja gems. I have a mountain of articles to go through to find it. Been looking for one of these for decades. Sure enough! - Volume 10 April 1992 page 34 offered for $65. It helps that my copy of 'Joja Jemz' is a reprint bound ...

22-S double struck, rotated 160°. Says rotated in collar, but it would seem that the first strike was in the collar while the second wasn't. Super cool, super rare. Good luck if you're chasing it. I just bought a new furnace instead, so my wings are clipped. https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/1922-s-1-...

Don't know if I'd be happy with the "fair offer": allowing him to keep the cleaned coin and receive a payment of about 70 per cent of the coin’s insured value plus a full refund for postage and other fees Seriously? Well, we don't know what the coin looked like before it was dipped or what the decl...

And with that, the 2023 Calendar sales season comes to an end. Thank you to all who bought one, and stay tuned for the 2024 edition.

If it's in a PCGS 65 holder, then I'll say it looks like it was caused by the individual LEDs on your light source.

I am glad to see others also did well at the show. I picked up a 1934D Peace dollar w/ SPL - PL obverse (the coin is toned, so it is excusable that the dealer missed it), and a Spanish colonial gold coin listed in Numista as only 5 known (mine presumably being #6). I will post later my experience w...
