Re: 1878 VAM 114A Questions
Nostril seems right. U in UNITED is just damage. Lots of doubling and tripling on 1878 obverses. Not everything is called out in the specification for these VAMs, otherwise they'd become unnecessarily long.

10 Best Photo Viewers for Windows 11 in 2023
I've only ever used IrfanView and was going to recommend it, but figured I'd go look for a list of viewers.

Re: OT; Quarter Variety
There was a monster clashed 1976s proof wuarter that might have been in joja gems. I have a mountain of articles to go through to find it. Been looking for one of these for decades. Sure enough! - Volume 10 April 1992 page 34 offered for $65. It helps that my copy of 'Joja Jemz' is a reprint bound ...

You want a rare Peace dollar?
22-S double struck, rotated 160°. Says rotated in collar, but it would seem that the first strike was in the collar while the second wasn't. Super cool, super rare. Good luck if you're chasing it. I just bought a new furnace instead, so my wings are clipped. https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/1922-s-1-...

Re: OT: Whoops!
Don't know if I'd be happy with the "fair offer": allowing him to keep the cleaned coin and receive a payment of about 70 per cent of the coin’s insured value plus a full refund for postage and other fees Seriously? Well, we don't know what the coin looked like before it was dipped or what the decl...

Re: Really Strange Luster
If it's in a PCGS 65 holder, then I'll say it looks like it was caused by the individual LEDs on your light source.

Re: A couple of FUN show purchases
I am glad to see others also did well at the show. I picked up a 1934D Peace dollar w/ SPL - PL obverse (the coin is toned, so it is excusable that the dealer missed it), and a Spanish colonial gold coin listed in Numista as only 5 known (mine presumably being #6). I will post later my experience w...

21-S VAM 35 - Zerbe
Heritage graciously accommodated my desire to study and photograph the 21-S Zerbe special strike that they had at lot viewing at FUN. I've finally gotten around to putting together the official description and VW page for this coin. Additional thanks to Fogie for hauling his microscope cross-country...

Re: 1921 Peace dollar for comment and suggestions
One of the things I encourage people to do is use the wiki's search function. I use it myself frequently when trying to attribute others' coins, because it can be a very fast way to find the right attribution, and speed matters when you're staring down a big box of coins. For the coin shown, and to ...

Re: Does anybody know if this is a New VAM for 1921 peace dollar
From a cataloging standpoint, there's a balancing act between cataloging everything and creating a manageable catalog. To catalog everything, it's necessary to be able to study a lot of coins at the same time so you can see what everything that's on a particular die. Leroy didn't have this luxury du...

Re: A couple of FUN show purchases
A love Lion Dollars, especially when the strikes are good like this one. I bought a Lion Dollar at FUN, as well. I was sitting at John Dannreuther's table showing him one I had bookmarked some time ago on MA-Shops, and he said if I don't buy it, he will, so I bought it. So I didn't actually take po...
