This wasn't particularly remarkable until I took it under the scope: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
VAM-6 looks like a solid match. However, I don't see any sign of the die gouge noted on the description: http://vamworld.com/wiki/1880-O_VAM-6...
I think the composition of the bi-metallic coin would matter a great deal in how accepting the population is of it. Many of the countries with...
I thought it looked a bit PL but that you were probably going to zing us with a crazy high grade like MS-65. AU58 PL seems appropriate from what...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The 2nd 8 has something odd going on to the right of the center. What would cause that? There's an odd die clash above the...
The reverse has some major doubling that I missed at first glance. I'm leaning towards VAM-10? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Got my new scope. And, after sifting through a pile of Morgans, I think I found the same coin. It's amazing how looking through different optics a...
Some new pics with the endoscope. Found some scratches that I thought were die cracks until I examined them closer. Definitely an example of how a...

And here's some closeups on the mintmark. Are there any other telltales I should examine for the 1882 O varieties? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Australia recently launched a "Donation Dollar" aimed at encouraging citizens to support local charities. I like the idea, but am not sure that...
Congrats on your new place. You make a great point about how remote working is going to change the job market - even post-pandemic, it's going to...
Property demand is not universally distributed. Some areas have strong job sectors (despite Covid) & limited inventory, and are seeing very tight...
Rhodium is continuing to go up like a rocket. $12,000 *an ounce* is nuts. Are there any Rhodium coins out there?...
Seconded - this looks worth slabbing. Should give a nice return on the cost.
By "sort of," you mean because it was 100% part of the US at the time it was minted? Or because of the clear and unambiguous "United States of...
My US Philippines 1908 proof piece comes from a mintage of only 500. The common ones that year were made in San Francisco, while Philadelphia made...
Anything I should examine closer here?
That's amazing. I wonder how many more times that die was used before it failed completely.
