I think it is Vam-1K. I looked it up on Heritage and they sell for $150-$200 in MS64 and my coin looks as good as the ones they have graded MS64. Pleasant surprise. __________________ Randy   11-02-2009, 12:16 AM   #2 (permalink) Tater Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Utah Posts: 1,784 My Mood: I am happy you like your peace dollar. It appears to have a early stage die crack. Some of these can have die cracks all over the place. __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2743 rolls halves 157-40% halves 39-90% halves   11-02-2009, 08:46 AM   #3 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,924 My Mood: Your image is just out of focus enough that I can't make an evaluation. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member Be yourself ... everyone else is already taken.   11-02-2009, 09:07 AM   #4 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 7,320 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kanga Your image is just out of focus enough that I can't make an evaluation.

I know my camera is capable of being adjusted for that. I just don't know the impact of doing that adjustment vs. ignoring it. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member Be yourself ... everyone else is already taken.   11-02-2009, 10:36 AM   #6 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 5,134 Does appear to be in great shape. How's the reverse? And don't worry about white balance, just get the photo in focus and that will make for a greater photo for clarity. First things first. Also, lots of light reflections at the top and left so I suppose you were using a light source at that location. Really nice looking coin though.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
