VAMWorld 2.0

that vam 6 look much more like a o/cc than the vam 10. when vamsterdam posted it i looked at the o/o on that page and wow. i know it isn't one but if that inner part of the mm wore down, shoo wee. picked a v10 this week. not a big deal but i was happy to find an unc even if the bullion is making pur...

a good coin to post. it is above average for what i'm used to seeing.

they mess up the reverses and use obv of 21 with earlier dates.

i'd give this a 4.5-5 out of 10 for the public being able to detect it.

almost thought it may have just been whizzed a bit.

nice i appreciate when i see this type of post on various coin forums. a couple interesting and useful observations made by the mint.

ok. i looked again and may have to eat my words. also the hole goes a little deeper than i first noticed.

v67 page
This reverse shared with VAM-37, VAM-42, VAM-44, VAM-51, VAM-57, and VAM-67.

I see on the pages that there is a question about the two subject VAMs possibly sharing the same reverse die. Looks like JR has seen VAM-67 coins both with (LDS) and without the chip in eagle's wing. fwiw, a quick mm comparison shows they cannot be the same reverse die (not even possible). so long ...

Yes I am positive their are file marks or sanding marks in the gouge . Looks like they were trying to remove the gouge .

ok. thanks.

i only ask because i've not seen it on another example and i've looked at a lot.

Here is what I looked like when I first saw it.

That earns a Holy Crap™ and a You Suck™ from me, and I don't give those out often. x2!! congratulations. The discovery piece is currently being certified and YES I HAVE JUST A FEW MORE also being certified. Multiples from an original roll? multiple examples quenches any questions i had.

nothing new to add but to say VERY neat and nice.

have you seen this one in-hand messy?

I tried to make this thing into a 21-P D2 reverse Kissov, if it helps. 21-s morgans can be identified as such by the overall look of the obv alone and a glance at the reverse usually confirms (even without a mintmark.) i say this to encourage you in the future that you can tell a 21-s the vast majo...

hmm. i just can't get there that the head and beak are clashed that far apart. i'll need an overlay or another explanation. thanks for the responses and efforts so far.

thanks for the responses and help. i'm not sure i can quite understand what the jawline "clash" is. i have some speculations but that is all they are. i'll provide what i see and perhaps you can help me across the bridge. tia edited to add, a bigger version can be opened in a new tab or d/l. not sur...

the page says something about clashed eagle's head. does that refer to this unusual "clashing"?

Is this an unlisted die break or not a listable feature? It is not listed as a die break variety. Could this break be a diagnostic in another '23 VAM that I am just not finding? came across this and thought of your coin. don't see them often listed with neck break and nothing else but it does happe...

PS; Still cant believe no one interested in my PCGS 64 DMPL 1881 -0 VAM 16
Just under appreciated

is that your coin on the vam page?

while all peace dollars are vams, i can say to a 99% certainty, there are no known listed peace vams with a feature(s) like that. lines are just too straight and clean. something like that, if it were a coin attribute would be more along the lines of an error, not a vam. the lettering is 2 different...

i think this is the most rusted dies i have ever seen. then again it is a restrike. https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/26194 ... _Large.jpg (right click link to open in new tab or hold ctrl and left click.
