VAMWorld 2.0

@vampicker Hey John, that may not be enough time for me to find the 74 1921-Ps and 74 1921-Ds I still need to finish those two sets.

Heck, December 1, 2030 probably won't be enough time either.

Looks fine to me.

Do the grading services usually annotate such things? Do they usually do anything other than keep us guessing? Strike-throughs run a very wide gamut of severity, ranging from "where is it?" to massively hideous. I personally regard them as a negative and I try to avoid them. ANACS seems to attribut...

Post Mint Damage. In other words, it happened after leaving the Mint.

I have two of these; one looks just like yours (minor).

I replied on your PCGS board post, but I wanted to add something here. If you want to get them all graded, assuming the coins are indeed all BU, you could submit them to me to add to a PCGS bulk order that I'm accumulating. The grading fees would be a small fraction of what they'd be if you sent th...

Chris: The last photo you posted gave me two new – and IMO significant – things to look for after I dialed-back the black level in the image. Unfortunately, far too many of the photos in the D2 scribbles guide have been cropped so tightly that the area where the vertical scribble between upper tail ...

Interesting/annoying coin. The very significant cracks at ONE are unlisted in the attribution guide, and the scribbles detail isn't quite enough to let me find a match there, despite having made a slow and determined search. A trip to messydesk may be in order (but don't be surprised if the final ve...

Still looking for any help with this one.

Look at 3CA and 3CA1.
Both have the line from the wreath to O in ONE. So does 3CA2, but by that point it has gotten pretty weak.

Best of luck Andy! I have my serious eyes on several pieces.

Here is my VAM 1FL:

Greysheet is clueless in this instance on a scale that is beyond staggering.

It is the responsibility of submitters to familiarize themselves with, and fully understand, which VAMs a grading service does and does not attribute. Period.

Looks like mechanical (strike) doubling.

Maybe just me, but the minor scuff marks appear to match up on the photos. Looks to be same coin in my opinion....

You know... I have to agree!
Marks under the E, L, BU, S, U, M all match.

OK folks. First, as points of reference, here are some October 2023 Greysheet prices to keep in mind: AU58 – $45 MS62 – $70 MS63 – $200 MS64 – $405 MS65 – $485 MS66 – $750 MS67 – $16,000 My neck is sore from shaking it side to side as I look at this coin and grapple with these thoughts: – This has t...

Straight graded by NGC.
I will post the results Sunday night.
Have fun... and thanks for playing.
