That rassin' frassin' sassin' brassin' vamnuke has reclaimed the top spot in the SSDC Registry for the 78-CC date set. This can NOT stand...

Haha.. you're welcome. Enjoy nibbling on my junk.

VAM 15. Only die pair for either of these dies.

Looking forward to seeing them.

Kind of looks like a formerly encased coin. How do the reeds look?

1879-O not having been rigorously studied is contributing to you not finding a match for minor die markers. Date and mint mark might be your only indicators of which variety it is.

Looks like VAM 1DU.

John: Yes it does! But a much earlier die state with very strong scribbles, no spike coming out of Liberty's cap under the S, and no bean bottom S. Would this make the listing splitable, as was recently done with 5C1-5C2?

Need both coins.

Looks like VAM 1DU.

I just checked some pictures I have for VAM 41 that I took a long time ago for someone who was studying the date. The coin was circulated and most things to look at were on the obverse. It's pretty safe to say that there are multiple die pairs out there currently attributed as VAM 41. Looking forwar...

@messydesk Is there a misprint on the official listing? The listing says Far Date, but the photo says near date. Congratulations on the DC. Cut and paste error on the discovery letter. The text on VAMWorld is correct. Wow, JB is human. Who knew. But really, thanks for all you do. You’re awesome JB!...

The page is up. I had just forgotten to link it from the 1900-O page.

21-S is the Morgan dollar most seldomly found in PL, relative to its MS population. I think 1901 beats it in terms of absolute rarity, but there are 7 1921-S in PL, 0, count 'em, 0 in DMPL in the PCGS pops. Of the three pictured on CoinFacts, none are attractive. Two (from the same die pair) have lo...

Bulk turnaround is really unpredictable. I have had orders take 3-4 months and I've actually had them back within 2 weeks. If I have your coins for a couple months before I get the full 100 I need to submit, you could get unlucky and need to wait 6 months from the time you send them to me. If yours ...

This submission is at PCGS now. Anything I receive will go into submission #2.

May I ask what is the turn around time estimate for doing it like this ????

It's usually between 2 weeks and 6 months.

That's definitely a nice haul for a B&M junk box.

so how does this all relate to values?- Is 23A still the money coin ?

Yes. The 23A with naked-eye, across-the-room clash is the money coin. Others are the "bridesmaids," as it were.

Maybe 4 to 5 inches that was the only way to get the high res to focus . Had to use the timer . But i am thinking something that reflects the lighting would be better. I had no idea I was gonna struggle with coin photos like I have . Glare is not your friend. Lol Short answer is that you're too clo...

How far are you from the coin when you take the picture? That will determine what you can do with the lighting.
