VAMWorld 2.0

Not a pick as it was listed as a VAM and a cud. And I probably paid too much... but I couldn't help it, I need to attend a VAMs anonymous meeting for my addiction.... LOL Maybe it will upgrade my set as the cleaned 4 I have is only worth 16 points and the G4 that I had listed has been removed by me ...

Doesn't look good - especially the reverse https://www.ebay.com/itm/155492090818?hash=item24340d03c2:g:wfMAAOSwQA1kL4Vm&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsCcsDJ3AzbtJNmOLIyuQ37IKiXhMi1BlMpmHJTKN48%2FnRzrPUerKQkCbPQ0%2FotgINfMIo9lGVJvj2TyPmQ7zx2Cy0n6zF3V%2BirbrqsViFvsSGoLDxd5ksLsENuCkAW%2B%2BMNMgfNZZBJS2OyEt4jbRJ...

Interesting thread.... my 2 cents worth on the coin. If you were to eliminate the shiny areas of rub on the high points of the lettering (not just the B, but other lettering as well... noting rub especially on the R of PLURIBUS, as well as on the wheat area) Eliminate that and there appears to be ve...

Good looking Morgan, I like those over polished / over buffed examples.

Very nice pair of E Clashers.

I saw Brian's name on the dealer list. Hoping to visit with him a bit. I might have to throw my ball glove in the truck. Last time I saw him at a show (at St. Charles, Mo.) we played catch in the parking lot. He throws a pretty wicked pitch or two.

Bumping to the top as this show is scheduled for next week. Hope to see a VAMmer or two attending. I plan to be there Thursday, and possibly again on Friday (if I work out any deal to sell some of my collection)

Curious if anyone is attending. Looks like there might be a VAM guy or two setting up there. https://www.cccoinshow.com/

I wasn't sure and should have looked a bit longer before deciding. LOL But I only missed it by 1.

But I made an exception today. Stopped at local dealer B and M to pick up a little silver and gaze at stuff I can't afford. Asked to look at the junk box of Morgan and Peace dollars. Saw a Peace dollar so worn no date was visible. But I did grab this 1890 Morgan for $16, figure I can shove it in my ...

I'm leaning towards it being VAM 10, but then I'm not an o/cc guy so you might want to wait for others to chime in.....

Reminds me of the reverse of that 29a the squirrel was looking for....

Looks 20a to me, nice catch.

We could have one less hot day in July and August if they added them to February. Maybe someone can suggest that to the current administration (but they'd figure out a way to screw that up too!)

Hey Peter.... great to see you are still hanging around. Hope life is treating you well.

I guess I consider rotation to be based on where the head of the eagle goes in relation to normal position. Anything starting at the top and moving toward the 6 to the right is CW. Starting at the top and moving backward toward the left is CCW. I use the head of the eagle because I thought that is w...

It appears to me the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions are not good to use in "referencing" rotation as they can be CCW or CW 90 degrees from the top or bottom, depending on which reference point is used. If the coin in the posting is 45 degrees CW as stated, is the tail of the eagle the reference p...

I tend to pick up rotated reverses when I find them. CW vs CCW has confuzzled me. If you flip them over top to bottom, just use the clock to determine CW or CCW? 3 o'clock would be 90 degrees CW? 9 o'clock would be 90 degrees CCW? The coin shown would be about 45 degrees CW?

And a shot of the VAM 1a3.
