Happy New Year and Congrats to Wayne and Andy! Great work with perseverance and evidence.

You are welcome. Nice photos by the way.
Thanks, been working hard at that. Dennis gave me some great pointers. It was a shame to down sample to upload, but it gets the job done.

Still hunting the 23B's, nice work

Re: 1896-P VAM-5A obverse scratches?

Neat Double! Part of me wishes that the initial descriptions on sort by date was more detailed, like "Extreme Doubled One", but another part really appreciates that it isn't.. it makes you hunt and learn.
