VAMWorld 2.0

Knowing the time this type of thing takes, my heartfelt appreciation.

The first VAM Thing (and FUN Show) I attended was the year AFTER Leroy went for the last time. Whatever year that was. Never did meet Leroy, sigh.

Hard to gauge true rarity. I found around 9 or so in my years of working on 1902-Os. Most grade out 62/63. For some reason not widely appreciated it seems. Didn't make the WOW list, maybe because it doesn't come around often. Only auction house sale I ever saw was a PCGS in 63 that was a BIN at $450...

It looks like a lot of what you show are planchet striations. You should learn how to spot them. Maybe this coin will help.

I call the minutia die poop. That is just me.

Speculating on any commodity is just that, speculating. Some make money, but most lose money. It is no different for any commodity, like pork bellies.

Ex-jewelery, i.e., from a bezel?

Just wonder what a LDS of this die pair would be called once the DIs wear away from die wear?

Scott, if you simply don't care, just stick to your bullion speculation.

Thanks for the work you do Brent. Always appreciated.

Nice coin Dennis. Great pics as always.

Cool John. I had one similar.

Mystery Post. Hate when that happens.

"Dots in Denticles" are common as others have said. The circular lines as Gary mentioned are also common. But there are things that stand out.

Good to know. You can send the prize of two cases of Bud Light to my front door

It could be called maturation.

It just looked familiar. I won't swear I am right.

1902-O VAM 10

Does this help?

There is a lot going on with the 04-O series, including die incest. While only JB/JR can change listings, they seem to me to work well as is.
