Got this in change yesterday. The outline of Lincoln's portrait can be seen on the reverse. Also has a die crack on the obverse and lots of die...
Great find! I'm still trying to cherrypick a full clashed E. I have a couple of partial E's, but nothing that shows up as well as your coin!...
I think it's from a grease-filled die. Grease in the devices cause the shallow letters. Some silver flows around the grease and leaves the...
I understand and completely agree. I had two Morgan dollars in PCGS holders with the wrong dates on the labels. They were common dates and...
I have a strange feeling that the label isn't wrong. I've been hearing stories about twisting the new ANACS slabs with your bare hands to pop...
Hello and welcome! You brought an old thread back to life. Looks like a 1902-S VAM 1. The VAM 1 is considered the "normal die" pair for the...
See this link ... and welcome to the forum!
I am posting this for my brother. He bought this on eBay and it arrived today. He has a few questions and I know nothing about gold. It's raw...

This is for my Dansco 7070 set... Oregon Trail commemorative. Opinions? [IMG] [IMG]
For my complete set, I try to go AU to MS64 (though I'll never see this in the key dates). For my date set, I'm trying to stay all MS63 or...
Nice coin! It matches the cracks on my VAM 38. The R in PLURIBUS should look like this.... link1 Some of the stars should be strongly...
Yeah, I'd like to know too. Though the new slab design is growing on me, I don't like the fact that it can be cracked open with your bare hands....
I'll try MS64 PL.
Nevermind.
I don't have any problem with slabbed coins. Have only tried the older ANACS style and PCGS slabs. I'm using a Microtek scanner. I scan large...
Picked this up today. This is on the Hot 50 list and in the Elite Clashed Die book. It's an 1883-O VAM 36A. It has the DO from DOLLAR clashed...
I've wondered the same thing about the EDS and LDS designations. I remember someone telling me that the reverse die might have been re-used or...
In the VAM area, I have more questions than answers. I'm still learning about this stuff and it's hard to keep up to date. Rob Joyce has some...
Is your 1882-O O/S VAM 4 is EDS or LDS. The early die state is worth MUCH more. The 1882-O O/O VAM 7 doesn't seem to have much of a premium in...
