It's over 4 months off, but I'll try to remember to bring my VAM 3 EDS and LDS with me to the FUN show. I might have a VAM 5 EDS. I don't have a...
There really isn't controversy as much as there is misunderstanding. Looking at the rest of the die for all three die pairs shows the same thing...
The flattening on the obverse could have been copied. The surface of the coin inside that chop just looks too much like the fields. Perhaps it's...
I agree with this. The central chop mark on the reverse set me on edge right away, as it looks struck with the coin and not applied later....
No problem with it where it is on an AU53. It would probably bug me more in a prime focal area.
Since you don't seem to understand what it means to call someone a scammer, what do you deserve being called, even if you aren't?
While CL is full of scammers, there is no indication that this is one of them. Looks like an uninformed seller.
Canada started producing actual holographic coins (gold maple leaves) in 2001. There is a die with the hologram on it, much as there is for...
Looks like severe acid damage on the reverse. Did your LCS guy test it with nitric acid and render it a bullion coin?

I got a trainee clerk yesterday. I needed to ship a registered package that I had already put stamps on and a pre-paid express package. Totally...
All I can offer is that in the 2015 Red Book (the most recent one I have), they list the value of a new 2008 NLG Limited Edition Red Book at $1000...
Looks like it went "poof."
I agree with AU58, but those are 175 year old surfaces on that coin. Great look to it, and the pull-away toning adds some extra charm. Enough to...
Gorgeous Arkansas and Hawaiian! You hardly ever see Hawaiians with any color other than pink and yellow.
Without looking closely, my gut tells me it's good. When you get it, go to Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing's website and try to attribute it.
I finished a type set of these a few years ago, and unfortunately for me they're more affordable now. So many great designs, and some weird...
The coin is exceedingly original. That's pull-away toning on the reverse. The $600 bid is appropriate, as there could be some AU58-ness hiding...
Yup.
That VAM typically comes uncirculated, and I don't see anything in those pictures to make me concerned that it's not. My only concern is that...
Separate names with a comma.
