My nickname from birth is Skip. Not sure I could trust him. I have no idea what possessed me to use my legal name as my screen name.:p
Anyone here good at it or even care? I should go to the VAM World Forum but there are some surly unpleasant people that turn me off there. :D...
Oh, it's getting details for sure. I knew when I eyeballed without magnification. :D
On the bright side, if authentic (unaltered) , I'd never haved owned it otherwise. Too expensive for this ugly a coin. :D
Now that you mentioned it. I just spent a half hour looking at VAM3, the only business strike die pair for this limited abount of mintage. Hard to...
I thought about that and looked it this last night. I see nuttin. High magnification with the scope. Ya'll are starting to make me see things now....
I'm just glad it's not a fake. Not yet. :p;) It's got wear. And probably spit shined. Not sure that is possible anyhowzzzzzz. It's got an awful...

I have yet ANOTHER that seems to have gone into the black hole that is the regional distribution center. I'm actually hoping this one doesn't make...
They need to get you out on the set of the series "Curse of Oak Island". Maybe, after a decade of abysmal failure, you'll find some treasure there. :D
