VAMWorld 2.0

Great photos! And I really like the heavy die polishing lines contrasting with the "smudge"!

Please consider putting on the appropriate pages WHAT the difference between the two is. We have delisted nothing - "screwing with" is a little strong. It is all there. We have "prompted a conversation" and hopefully we can improve the pages so we no longer run into questions about them.

It is there because it has not yet been officially delisted. That must be done by JB &/or JR (John Baumgart / John Roberts). In order for that to happen - they need it to come to their attention - with the rationale for delisting it presented in a way that convinces them that it is the right thing t...

I knew Mark would come thru 4 us! Thanks

I am the SSDC registry police right now. Removing a coin from the SSDC registry does not delist it any more than removing it from VAMworld 2.0 (& anyone can do that (at least once...)). I am trying to keep the registry VERY close to the official listing regardless of what I think. Delisting is hard ...

Good to hear 51.2, 71, & 90 do exist!! I would like to see the others disappear but it is really not possible to PROVE that something does not exist.

To add mud to the already muddy issue - There are 8 listings that have an SSDC POP of 0 (1878-S VAMs-11, 12, 25, 54, 61, 67, 85, & 94). Personally, I do not believe they exist - cataloguing errors. Then there are the unique listings of which there are 4 (1878-S VAMs-1, 51.2, 71 & 90). Again, I do no...

I have confirmed that the pictures are of the 1904-P VAM-6A discovery piece. LVA mislabled the photos way back when... I have relabled said pictures and updated the page. VAM-on!

? looks sorta familiar.... let me investigate (call Mark)....

I did not know the US governent ever put a counterfit in a GSA (albeit a soft pack) holder until I saw this! Very cool. There was a 93-S at the same show (Denver) in the soft pack. It was at a different table but....

Ya alls too damn cute....

sounds like a resounding - NO.

I think you are on to something there! Outstanding work

? Has anyone ever seen a 1902-S that did not have the 2 berry reverse (C4/C3)? The VAMs 1, 2 & 4 are listed as having C4 reverses. My VAM-4 was attributed by LVA but it clearly has the C4/C3 reverse (as well as a near date).

less surprising...

My favorite has to be an ANACS oops (Vintage). Any more you need to get up pretty early to catch ANACS like this.

Busted...

1885-S VAM-1 (1885-S VAM-1A), 1885-S VAM-2 (1885-S VAM-2A) & 1885-S VAM-7 (1885-S VAM-7A) are credited with an EDS and LDS (seen in parentheses). Easy enough. However - they all are credited with the exact same reverse die. Would it not stand to reason that only one of these would have both the EDS ...

Nice coin!
