Re: Wave pattern 1886 P

When I was looking at it I thought LDS of maybe a 6c but I wasn't sure with the additional cracks in bonnet and the stars plus the wearing of the letters especially towards the rim maybe from polishing?

Re: 1895 O

I see what you mean. I didn't even look at the date. The mm is tough due to it being a lower grade coin but I just wasn't sure. Attached is better picture of the date

Re: 1895 O

I didn't think it was but I got this 1895 O and I thought it was a 3A but it's tilted right. Is it a different Vam? Is it not tilted?

Re: Are these production or post production on 1878 VAM 141A?

How do I differentiate or learn to differentiate? I mean most damage I can just know but the thing like the breast and the shoulder look like cracks or breaks to me.

Re: Are these production or post production?

This is from a 1878 Vam 141A but in the full pictures for the 141 and 141A the motto and rims looked OK so I wasn't sure if it was post production or production.

Are these production or post production on 1878 VAM 141A?

Just want to learn a little. Polish, stamping, or just damage? Appreciate the comments!

Re: 1883 CC Help

I like the confetti idea lol. I don't have the chin lines but I found a dot next to the back of the eagles head, base of right feathers and I can't tell if that's a dot under her chin or just a dark area but I think it's just a dark area. Also slight clash by lips.

Re: 1883 CC Help

I see some 5B in it but would it be a new progression? With the tip near right wing shoulder, spiked 3 and some of the clashing doesnt line up. The berries and leaves are on the olive branch in the right talon.
