Re: 1922-P Small Chip on the Lip and 1922 S with heavy polishing on reverse

Does the 1922S have any other die markers? There are several polished dies already listed.

Re: 1924-S VAM 4 Question

I don't know if it is on all or not, but mine has it. The dot on my coin is nearly the full thickness of the feather. It may be that this is an early die break, with the potential that a later die state would be listable. Good observation!

I would have taken a chance on this one also. I've taken chances also, with both hits and misses. Hope it is a good one for you..

Goals for 2019

I would rather aim high & not make a goal rather than aim too low & make it easily. I did not make my 2018 goals for a variety of reasons, so it is time to start planning for 2019, with the FUN show being a good place to start. Perhaps the most challenging for me will be to: 1)complete 75% of listed...

Re: Just got my November Package Back From LVA....

Your 1926S appears to be a die state of VAM 6, look for slight doubling on the right side of rays above OLL, and on the right side of leaves 2 & 6. The EDS of this reverse does not have these die scratches.

Re: Fall cleaning VAMs for sale

None of the NGC coins have the notation of discovery coin. They won's put the VAM designation on a Peace dollar if it is not in the Top 50, although I don't know about the Elite 30.

Re: Collecting on the Darkside. Getting back on the horse after many years away.

First of all, welcome back! I got my first grandchild earlier this year, so I have not been as active in VAMs or on this site as I would have liked. While I have often been the "Crusher of Dreams" in getting a listing killed, I have had the chore of occasionally getting my own discoveries eliminated...

Re: 1923 D VAM 1X1 or 1X2 - What's it worth?

I would agree with not paying a premium for this one in a circulated grade. Uncs are distinctly scarce however.
