I have one of these (I think) but I can't find it anywhere in that multi-hundred listing. Are there new submissions still being made? New member here and the site might not let me post photos yet. I tried to join VAM World as well, the signup process was confusing and never let me in. I'll try and post some photos this week. The coin is almost gem mint except for the perceived errors. A written description goes like this: Anyone who has seen Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee's face after getting clawed, 4 to 5 identical marks in succession and placed in different areas of the obverse. The reverse is nearly flawless, except one small set of similar markings. Any ideas?
Here goes nothing, let's see if it will let me post pics yet. Taken with a 35 millimeter and not a great picture, the coin is a lot better looking than the lighting allows. I don't have a macro lens, just a basic one.
Barney. Please take this as advice not criticism: Please try you cell phone like this... Also, when done uploading, please click full image as....( to get larger pics). Thanks!
21's are extremely hard to match. There just so many of them. Some folks try the match by die cracks link. If you could get some better photos that don't make the coin look convex. If you are using a magnifier you are too close. I would try the method that Sal posted above. It is easy and the camera stays stable to get a good clear photo. Here is one I built last year. There are still some fun digs (metal detecting finds) on the stand. LOL the old phone was in the garage collecting dust.
I'm sorry but there is no VAM for your 1921 Morgan Dollar as it is a reproduction. A real one would look more like this:
Yikes!!! Seriously? It's been sitting in a vault sleeping for nearly 50 years! Would weight be a good indicator? There's a guy across town I may have to visit and let him look at it close and personal. Assuming the weight matches specs for a real Morgan, why would anyone counterfeit such a common date and mint? I'm baffled here. And thanks for the heads up.
Also you guys are going to laugh. I do everything internet on my laptop or TV. I've still got a flip phone because the androids and Iphones are highway robbery and I hate a phone to begin with. When someone calls or texts me, I get a little angry.
