Re: 1878 8 TF possible VAM-6. Questions

From what I can see, it looks like a 6 to me.
Close up photos of the feathers will help.
The marks near the E looks like PMD (Post Mint Damage).
But wishes on attributing 500+ Morgans. Should be FUN. :D

Re: SHIPPING COINS

If you’re selling your coins through Heritage, why isn’t Heritage letting you use their corporate insurance? I thought that you told us that they were selling lots of your coins. That should be part of their service.

Re: 1902-O vam 45a

I’m not sure where to put it in your scale.
It is the hardest Kimpton 12 to find, but not the most difficult Clashed 02-O to locate.
I’ve found one in MS-62 & 64.
It’s a Very cool clash.

Re: can't find right vam

I agree that it’s best to post after you receive the coin.
However; I think you are pretty new to VW.
It may be appropriate to give you a pass.
Now more people know.
Have fun with VAMs and keep on posting your coins.
Welcome to VW.

Re: can't find right vam

Hard to tell from your photos, but I may have an idea for your coin.
Is that a crack from the back of the head to the M in UNUM?
Also, is there any crack through the date?
Can you take close up photos?

Re: 1904-O V-32 photos

Nothing to be sorry for.
I was guessing that you knew what it was.
That’s why I didn’t blurt it out.
I like the clashed Gs.

Re: 1899-O

Knife cuts in the coin. Yes This is a question that comes up on a semi regular basis. Let’s say it was a knife cut that made the X. As the blade pushes into the coin, metal is displaced upward. As the coin continues to be worn with use, the raised metal smooths out and hides the groove that was cut...

Re: Have you ever been "VAMboozled" ?

Sure
I have also had lots of hatred dumped on me when I have tried to nicely explain to a seller on eBay that their VAM attribution was incorrect.

Re: 1901 0:VAM 26, VAM 32

Could you please show close up photos of the reverse?
Your LFCP looks like a C4 reverse from what I can see.
If I am correct, your coin can not be either a VAM-26 or 32. Both 26 and 32 are listed as C3 reverses.

Re: VAM nicknames

Some VAMs have great nicknames - like the Ghost of Carson City. Others do not - they may just say Double Stars or something like that. Is there a process to suggest new nicknames? Thanks in advance Pardon my ignorance, but what VAM is the Ghost of Carson City? When I think of VAM nicknames they are...

Re: (90) 1921-P crack maps added

Dennis,
I did several crack maps going back to the first VW.
But 90. Man I tip my hat to you. 90 is a real labor of love. Or maybe a labor of madness.
You take your pick.
