I picked this poor looking coin because it has a far date (and the price was right)...

Unless it was free, the price was not right. If eBay, file a SNAD as a counterfeit coin.

AWS is still Amazon's most profitable business unit. The old VW disappeared because it was on someone else's wiki platform and that company disappeared. It sounds like Amazon is just undoing a big hiring spree related to AWS.

Nicknames for coins are like any other nicknames. They have to get started somehow, but then have to be organically accepted. There's a Seinfeld episode about George trying to force a nickname onto himself. It doesn't turn out well.

Crazy that it made an 'uncirculated' holder rather than the 'silver dollar' version. Guess they invented not turning coins over to grade them

It may have been on the day that they only had to be untoned.

Awesome! Is the tablet working out for you?

My Judd book doesn't go past 1916, but if you're referring to J-2015, according to uspatterns.com, that has been discredited as being mutilated regular issues

@messydesk So i got to ask what happened to the attribution wizard idea ? 19 years I would think that being on the ground floor as it were ,,, there would be a pay app for that ,,,,make it so easy any new collector could interact with, the limited AI ??? and you sitting on the beach sipping an umbr...

I did a search already and couldn't find anything. My question is, what happened to the Rarity rating on all of the Morgan VAM's? Every VAM used to have a rarity rating associated with each one, but I don't see it anymore. What happened? TIA. A valid question. The rarity rating is being phased out ...

The squiggle is a clash from the top outline of Liberty's head. Rather common clash, since the feature is lower on the coin (higher on the die) than the nearby field.

Looks like VAM 4B

Many 83-S and 84-S have engraved leaves that weren't previously noted. These dates have been particularly nasty to attribute because of consistent date positions (most 84-S are far, 83-S doesn't move) and coins being circulated.

I will be at table 805 from Thursday through Saturday. PCGS will have onsite grading, but not variety attribution. As for extra money for special labels, more power to them. To me, they are meaningless, but they are an additional stream of money that keeps them from raising the basic grading fees fa...

You have either VAM 4B or VAM 13. Look at the denticles below the 18 in the date for VAM 8. If you have a match, it's VAM 13, otherwise VAM 4B.

VAM 3 is available clashed and unclashed. The clash is quite light and there's nothing listable about it. If there is an additional, heavier clash, I am unaware of it. VAM 7 has the reverse clash polished away, as well as some of the eagle spit.

I'll look for the discovery letter for that variety when I get the chance, probably tomorrow night. Then I can put the actual specification on VW.

It appears to be a moderately late die state 21P VAM 3FL to me...

I agree with this.

Is this the smiling goose variety?lol

If you'd ever smelled it, you'd know it was the gagging goose variety.

... 1) At this point I have multiple VSS-attributed VAM 1AZ examples, as well as multiple ANACS-attributed VAM 12 examples; they all match. On the one hand, it’s all fine and I have both registry slots filled, but on the other hand it would be more intellectually satisfying if I could get @vampicke...

The photos on GC aren't any better, but the UI for viewing them is. One thing at a time.

Thanks JB.
You started it off.
Did you also end it?

Uh, nope.
