I actually checked it last night, and didn't see anything other than notched serifs on the first T and the S in TRUST, which seem to be in the...
I had the opportunity to upgrade my proof war nickel from a 65 to a 67. [ATTACH]
For 1916-24, pretty much.
Congratulations!
Good to hear that it was an unintentional lighting side-effect, and that the coin looks better than what you photographed at first.

Yes, VAM 46. You can see the die break starting to form on the wreath near the N in UNITED. This becomes a rather deep chunk taken out of the...
I agree with VAM 74.
Because I liked it. 1828 O-121a PCGS 45.[ATTACH]
Not sure off the top of my head which one that is, but it isn't VAM 32A. The clashed letters on VAM 32A are quite strong and would easily show up...
Ordered 5 to flip to someone who had made me a pre-sale offer.
