VAMWorld 2.0

I am so glad to see that you fuys visited him and that he is well and keeping busy. I also appreciate you showing him the 2021 “morgan dollar”. I see them as glorified silver eagles. I am glad he and i are on the same with them.

Well, all kidding aside, that is a super nice coin. The 1921 morgan 15% M.A.D. Was spectacular. I wish i knew where it was.

Can i get my 1893s blank planchet certified?

Glad you completed the set. I couldn’t remember who needed the vam 4. It slipped my mind with all that i have been dealing with.

A very tough coin. I have only found ONE. Tough, tough coin!

I clicked on the link several times and it wouldn’t open.

Wish i had known about the Schaumburg indian grill. I would have loved trying it. Lots of international food In Schaumburg

wish i could have afforded to keep my v20's. it would have been fun to see them in hand again.

well, see what i started? it all started with a reward to the first person who could find a new 1879s r 78 vam. i found the v34b, and then the v57, 58, 62, 65, 68, 74, 83, 86, 58 die 2, 104, 110. i picked a vam 89, but did not discover it, same for 16a, and 78. i still haven't found a reused v56 obv...

i had thought of going to denver but considering all that i have been through in the last few months, i think i will take it easy. i killed myself last year doing 68 shows because my wife kept saying that i had to do more shows, more shows, more shows(for the last 5-6 years)! then she left me 3/25. ...

reminds me of a personality test i took years ago. forgot the name of it. it said i should have been a doctor or teacher, which is spot on. i didn't look into this one yet.

i have seen multiple examples of this vam, slabbed unattributed this year, including another one at CSNS.

had a great show. picked 1891o v3a2 au58, 78s vam 78 die 4 ngc64, 78s vam 69 ngc64, 1890o v14a ngc62, 1878 v143 pcgs64, 1888 denticle clash reverse ms63 pl, and some great doubled dies and toners. I even sold coins! yeah, i was at my table for stretches of time. food was very good, and i got to see ...

Sunce the is no date and mintmark mentioned in this, what were we talking about 2 years ago?

So, RogerB , how would you explain the elongated ray , if not a deliberate alteration of a die? Much like the wisconson quarter extra leaf high and low? Just happened to be on wisconson quarters in the shape and position of leaves. Same gor the 1962 50c fs-901 d in bell? Very lightly punched d, poss...

I have a table but don’t know the number

i called those MCCS holders "tombstones."

i cannot accept random errant punches as an explanation for misplaced dates. there is an 1866 seated half with 2 digits (likely 6's in the base of the rock, 2 overlapped upper portions of 1's in the lower left shield, a 1 in the hand holding the pole, a 6 in the shield above liberty on the right sid...

i love the serious doubling of vam 30. but hey, i'm a doubled die guy at heart.

i have both vam 17 and vam14. v14 doesn't get the respect that it ought. ii can't prove it yet,but i think vam 14(and maybe v17) are both type 2/type 1. no doubling of rays. doubling appears at lower left of branch where they start. , leaves are widely doubled, but again, no doubling of rays. not su...
