VAMWorld 2.0

Russ,
What was your first thought when you took a look at this coin?
Any bladder control issues?

Russ,
Real vs fake?
I’m not an expert, so I can’t say for sure one way or the other.
🤪 It sure is odd (and super cool) if real 🤪

I sure hope it’’s real.

Way cool Russ.

You take some nice photos.

Dennis,
If you want to add two 1878-S VAM-36 die 1 sales to you records.
An offer was made that I could live with.
Both went to the same party.
1878-S NGC MS-64 $175
1878-S PCGS MS-64 $175

Thanks JR. Bisecting die break it is. I was sort of having fun with the retained cud thing. As I understand a retained cud is a break that goes from rim to rim. Usually, it isn't half of the coin. I do like this one. :D UNCLE BINGO I'll have to chew on that for a little while. :lol: Thanks again, ev...

I was looking at my broken Bust dollar again.
So how do you decide what part is the retained cud? Is it the upper or lower half?

5A is super easy to attribute when you look in the eagle's right wing (left wing as you view it).
Go to the VAM-5 page for the dead give away pick up (two lines) in the eagle's wing.

Read the text also. The reverse is not limited to 5 & 5A.

Be very careful about using clash location to attribute a 53A. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen a 5A or 11A "attributed" as a 53A. They are NOT 53As. But the clash looks similar to a 53A, so that is where the "attribution" ends. I am suspicious of any 53A that is claimed without photo do...

Here is another one of my favorites.
Very hard to find 1880 VAM-53. 53A is a lot easier to find. This is mine in PCGS MS-63PL and on the VAM-53 page.

Both 1878-S VAM-36 sold.

PCGS customer service reminds me of Lily Tomlin on Saturday Night Live. She did a fake commercial where she worked for the Phone Company. Her catch line was "We Don't Care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company". That's pretty much the line I've gotten from PCGS. The clip is pretty funny. Take a...

No problem. You don’t know how hard a time I had when I was learning how to work VAMworld 1. VAMworld 2 is a little different but I’m sure you will pick it up. As far as posting 5 photos. You can only post 5 at a time. But you can post as many as you want on the same thread. Post 5 photos and submit...

tj52,

They are also actively involved in the new CONECA listing pages that are intended to replace Variety Vista - a mammoth undertaking. This cool is cool enough that it may elicit a faster res...
