I'm not familiar with the "white paper test". Please explain how one does it, and what you are looking for. Thanks.

My first pick of the new year

I found this one- a very high grade for a 1901 (probably AU-55 to maybe AU-58). I noticed it was a Vam 5 too . This is probably the highest grade for a raw 1901 which I've seen in doing this over 10 years. Coin looks like it was dipped but I think she will grade. Tell me what you think. JDL_1901_P_V...

Re: 8 TF confirmation- new pick 14.6?

I'm hoping for an MS-63 grade which will be determined when I send it in thru JB. The coin has a PL obverse, but not the reverse. I'm excited.

8 TF confirmation- new pick 14.6?

Enclosed are my pictures of a recent 8TF coin with the A1C reverse. I think I know what it is, but I want to make sure...

Congrats Chris
Very nice coin. Have fun with the attribution game- 21s are rather tricky.

Re: How's The New Vam Site?

Why are there no "reverse" pictures listed. Instead, we have 2 obverse full length repeated pictures. Can you say redundant?

Thanks Mitch. Every so often you get lucky staring at some raw coins, when suddenly a little checkmark smiles back at you.

New checkmark pick

I'm thinking I've got the 16-A now to go along with my 16-B Discovery. Nico's pictures are helpful. I thought I had another 16-B for a minute or two. What do you all think?
