1880-S Radial Die Break - New VAM?

[Windycity]

Can't ID this one - new VAM?

[Vam-mysterio]

[Geseas]

I think so...
(I am assuming a displaced field is not necessary in this.)

Could that 4th left star be considered as tripled?

[Unc90o]

Pat, I think that's v40a

I don't see displacement, but it is an imprssive crack.

I hope I am not hijacking this Thread... Please take a look at these screen shots.

I would list that as VAM 40A if it weren't already listed as VAM 40A.

I remember a lengthy thread with Bert, on the old site regarding 1921 D 1T

Or speficslly, when does a 1T actually become a 1 T1. The answer was visible field displacement….just dayin’

Also an 1882 is ONLY a 31A with visible partial letter transfer And a PL REVERSE
Just because the overse has a clash it is not necessarily the 31A, unless it has been changed from what my letter says…..the listing on that page is deficient

[Windycity]

Thanks for help! Definitely a VAM 40A.

[Albannach]

I see the displacement in the plate shot. Sorry, I don't see the light shift on yours.

I would bet that thread with Bert would be a good read...Your 1921 D 1T [series] Discovery http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... -D_VAM-1T1 is a good study of displacement varietys.
I find this interesting and would like to figure out how to photograph a displacement with our new photographing technology.
Please see photos 1 &2 pictured in my post above.

How were those taken way back then? Photo 2 looks painted on/enhanced somehow.


Thanks for sharing.

Thats @messydesk

You are good at keeping a thread on track. I think you may need some practice on hijacking one; properly

I am just kidding!

I can do better than that. If a thread is hijacked and starts going to a bad place, I can launch a little cyber-SAM and blow it out of the sky.

[vampicker]

and it pales in comparison to what the site's founder could have (still) done had he chose to.

[Geseas]

You would have to be crazy to mess with the Johns and LVA!

Your combined knowledge demands respect.

I will definitely start a new thread if it gets out of hand.

I appreciate the way this ship is run.
(I keep looking for a leak but can't find one that you haven't already pointed out.)

[Albannach]

It's really just light placement or if you cartwheel it in the sun, you really can't miss it.

I'll wait to stand corrected, but I don't see visible displacement.
Should be easy enough to capture in a pic...if it's there.
