VAMWorld 2.0

Solved my 78-S mystery coin; AU-55ish V86 die 2; 2nd one I’ve found in the wild. Now if I could just find a die 3

Started tracking a lot a while back; upon close look at photos, auction house attribution is wrong; I sent a note over a week ago, but no reply and still listed with wrong description; Caveat Emptor.

Nice pick! I was there. Probably went through a box of nearly 300 AU 78-S in one dealer's box. Found a V107 and VAM 1G die 2; picked another to figure out at home. Also picked up what looked to be ~ MS 60 1878-P V112 with single clash; mine is only AU. ANACS was there (met CMERLO1) so those three pl...

Hey, with Vamsterdam absent, maybe a coin or two can be cherried

Will be there Friday...

Thanks all, over two decades invested so far to assemble the set; but still working to fill in the missing holes and improve where I can...

Big news on the 78-S V67/104 comparison; nice pick on 103.5!

I got this in the mail a couple of weeks back. Work schedule was the reason I could not attend the FUN show in Jan. and work schedule precluded a trip to the box for a photo-op with just a few of the many fine (relative term ;) ) ladies that help make up my set. The hunt continues.... 19A03426-FABA-...

Congratulations!!

Another dilemma...I'd vote to get rid of the 80B then; 80A then falls in logical sequence. A similar revelation happened several years back with V170 & 170A. Every coin had the 170A feature, so it's no longer in the SSDC sets.

Ouch!

Thanks, Mitch.

I still want to find a no-crack EDS though to fill out my die state set for the 80 series; the hunt continues....

For the 313 First Year Morgans - (1878) First Year Morgans - Basic, 1878-S V51 got split into die 1 and die 2 a while back; the classic polished ear is now die 2. Although many now registered V51s are really die 2, I think the default may have been to assume die 1. I know there was a thread posted s...

Yes, this series is really messed up, as well as the registry, in my opinion. Initially there was VAM80, then the LDS V80A got added. Most all of the V80s show some significant reverse die cracking, many are PL, some DMPL, including those with the extra die crack thru the bottom of the D in UNITED. ...

Congrats, Lee!!!!
