Re: 1898-P DMPL MS 61 VAM-2A

It very likely would not... like perhaps 95% of the 5,000+ different VAMs that are known so far.

Re: Need some Help with 1921 P D2 Please :)

@jrfaust Is that a 1921-P... or actually a 1921-D?

Re: Need some Help with 1921 P D2 Please :)

I was not able to find your coin in the D2 die crack guide... or in the scribbles guide... or in the group of 63 new D2 crack maps I am in the process of having added to the crack guide.

It would seem to be an excellent candidate for going to @messydesk. Good luck!

Re: 1921P potential duplicate listings

I wish I could be of more help but... I don't have a VAM 12 because I became convinced it is really 1AZ, so I put a 1AZ sticker on it. I don't have either a 105 or 121, so I can't offer any opinion other than to say that LVA's "Diagonal Die Scratch Leaf Gap" plate image for VAM 105 matches the messy...

Yup - I still have my prize from that night (the 1878 VAM-9 presentation piece).
I've seen that one. It looks way better than 62.

Remember when LVA's coins sold?

The annual Central States Numismatic Society show and sale is fast approaching at the end of this month – and is a reminder that it has somehow been 15 years since a landmark event in the VAM collecting world took place. pixs 1-3.jpg Everyone who was a VAM collector in 2008 knew that the Central Sta...

Your best bets for even the slightest indication are the population reports at SSDC and ANACS. Have you looked at them yet?

Re: Does a 1884-O VAM-8 have any premium?

If there is, my guess is it's only in Mint State grades. Here are the sales I have the last couple of years:
1884-O 8 65 NGC Apr-21 E $160
1884-O 8 64 ANACS May-22 E $119
1884-O 8 63 ANACS Aug-21 E $96

Re: looks like a new 1921-D

Looks like VAM 1DU. John: Yes it does! But a much earlier die state with very strong scribbles, no spike coming out of Liberty's cap under the S, and no bean bottom S. Would this make the listing splitable, as was recently done with 5C1-5C2? Need both coins. I can send you a 3-stage progression of ...

Re: On a 1921-S question, prooflikes

21-S in PL/DMPL are Mt. Everest rarities in the Morgan series. I've seen a 21-S proof before, but never seen a PL that I thought was really a PL.

I doubt any such list you are asking for exists.
