Here are close ups of the lettering on #1[ATTACH] [ATTACH] :
I have chosen to make my own thread following my experience as I expand into the world of Ancient Coins. My numerous questions and observations...
Stylistically, this appears to be an early ruler with his profile facing right. It is Copper/brass and weighs 198.8 grains. It is approximately...
Hints are welcome. I would like to know what you are seeing that I could look for which allows you to give the hint. In this case, I see a...
I just returned from out of town and the Ancients I purchased have arrived. This is the first one which jumped out as larger and potentially more...
Not all variety systems are the same. Many modern systems use die state/stage as an independent classification unlike EAC. I'm just figuring that...
Congratulations on this find. My first thought was the 8 is doubled so it might not be just crud. But sometimes crud collects along any break in...
I'll let the real experts clarify this. I have always just considered CUDS to be a place where the die has sunk (leaving an elevated area on the...
I just noticed I'll get 8 free so it will be 40 coins for $36 which is less than most of my EAC single coin purchases. The lots are advertised as...
I hope I can find my way back here when I receive the 32 ancients I just ordered. They are the first since I have ordered since I gave up my...

I'm stubborn at times. I now believe this is an 1800 S-209. This is from the position of the point of 1, the right side of 1 left of the junction...
I very much appreciate your work on the VAM site and also your time verifying some VAMs I've just ventured into while broadening my EAC focus. So...
This is another S-191 and my second entombed with a straight grade (G4) to go with my NGC F-12). But this one may be an earlier Die State than...
I made a close up of the differences between VAM 1 and VAM 2 with My VAM 1A in between. [ATTACH]
I'll check to see if my memory is playing tricks on me or not, but I think I did see the chip on each of the VAM 2s I looked at. But the VAM 1A is...
Looking a little closer, I can see a die break from the tip of the neck to between stars 1 and 2 to the dentil between 2 and 3 on both images....
Separate names with a comma.
