New VAM-e by Leroy

[vampicker]

Had to read it a couple of times to fully digest it, but it's a fascinating reexamination of the RPM on the 79-O VAM 4/28

Well worth the time to re and re-read it

Hopefully it will be sent out soon.

Great read however VAM 28 is omitted.

Great one for sure. Are they hard in mint state?

[vampicker]

Leroy's focus was on the RPM itself and why it looks the way it does. The obverse isn't part of the story he's bringing to light. The VAM 4 is much easier to find and is availible in mint state. Both VAM 4 and 28 are well represented in AU grades

Should it be uploaded to SSDC?

I had to read it several times. It seems he is saying it is an o/o/9o but the first two punches were horizontal, one above the other.

Thanks JR. I was pretty sure I've come across nice ones before but the way I read it, it seemed they might be scarce-ish in mint state. Or at least in the stage where the features would be the strongest.

If you didn't receive the VAM-e and are an SSDC member, let me know and I'll resend it to you on the 17th. I'm currently out of town.

I did not receive my copy.
