Fresh from J.B.

Post by fogie » Sat Apr 01, 2023 9:29 pm

Most of what I sent JB was 1900-S but there was 1 CC in the batch....

Thanks for sending the 1900-S study set. I was able to correlate several with “VNA” coins in Alan’s die study and straighten out a few others. Official descriptions are below. An asterisk by the VAM number indicates a revision.
1891-CC
8A III21 • C3d (C/C Right, Gouge Through Bow)
Obverse III21
Reverse C3d - Both C's in mint mark tilted slightly left. Left C has no polishing marks within loop and is doubled slightly to the right of the serif. Gouge through right side of opening of wreath bow extending down on the right side of the knot to right ribbon. Clashing polished away, only showing as a bump on the edge of the eagle's right wing below the 'n'. DPIS – C3/B45
1900-S
16* III25 • C4/C3a (Near Date, Doubled 190, 2 Olive Reverse)
Obverse III25 - Die Marker - All have die break across apex of cap, crack across back of neck into hair above date.
Reverse C4/C3a - Wide V S Mint mark centered and upright. Shallow extra olive to the right of olive connected to olive branch. Slight doubling at base of left olive leaf cluster and back of lower arrow head. Die Marker - Chip in E in ONE above middle crossbar, lines in wreath bow. Comment – Same obverse as VAM 8

22* III21 • C4/C3c (2 Olive Reverse)
Obverse III21 - Date at left edge of normal lateral position.
Reverse C4/C3c - Faint extra olive to the right of olive connected to olive branch. Doubled bottom
edge of lower olive leaf, back of lower arrowhead & slightly on some feathers at upper part of eagle's left wing. Wide S mint mark set slightly to the right. Die marker - Some vertical polishing lines left of eagle's neck.

28/28A Eliminated, duplicate of VAM 16.

32 III211 • C3k (Slanted Date, Die Break Star-U)
Reverse C3k - Wide V S mint mark upright, slightly high, slightly set to the right. Radial die crack to the right of the U in UNITED in later die stages. Break across tip of eagle's right wing. Die chips at top left of 2nd S in STATES and bottom left of 2nd A in AMERICA. Die Marker - Polishing lines in wing-neck gap and upper tail feathers.
DPIS – LH3/RE4
Comment – Formerly listed as VAM 12A

33 III211 • C3c (Low Slanted Date, S/S)

34 III214 • C3l (Near Slanted Date, Doubled 9, Wide S/S)
Obverse III214 - Date set left of normal position, slanted with 1 closer to rim. 9 doubled at bottom edge. Short, diagonal gouge inside top of I in LIBERTY a bit thicker than other die polishing lines. Die Markers - Several strong polishing lines across Liberty's neck into lower hair.
Reverse C3l - Wide V S mint mark set high and upright with doubled top right of upper serif. Die Markers - Lines in wing-neck gap and wreath bow.
DPIS – B23/RH4

35 III27 • C4/C3f (Slanted Date, 2 Olive Reverse)
Obverse III27 - Die Marker - Diagonal crack through L in LIBERTY from leaf to hair.
Reverse C4/C3f - Two olives on olive branch, with second olive faint. Wide S upright and set slightly to the right. Slight doubling on In God We Trust, bottom of eagle's jaw, eagle's eye, and back of lower arrowhead.

IMHO= Still seems very wierd to see " Top of paragraph" descriptions withot some type of headliner
describing collector interest or something revelant. otherwise a bunch of gobbly gook details
that may or may not catch attention. My IMHO- We really need a headliner of some sort!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those into all the finite details may dis agree, but consider those of us who simply dont care,
and like skimming thru descriptions to see if were further interested, withot having to read all the
fine print paragraph etc

Scott, if you simply don't care, just stick to your bullion speculation.

"Look everyone I have been Trolled". This post was/is intended for folks that are interested in VAMs not just looking for 1 more thing to gripe about. It looks fine to me. P.S. I am in the Seattle/Portland area for a few more weeks and if Scott would like to learn a little about attributing Morgans - I would be willing to travel to anywhere in Oregon he would like and provide some guidance.
