I dislike the color, but like the fouled up dies.
I'm there starting Thursday, and just arrived in Philly tonight. Got VAMWorld done just in time.
Someone doesn't like Lincoln.
As of last night, the migration of the old, Wikispaces-based VAMWorld to the new platform was declared complete enough* to redirect the...
Both have been cleaned. Both are circulated.
Too bad we won't cross paths at the show. If there is stuff you want photographed, you could leave it with my booth benefactor on Wednesday or...
It's not a rare variety, so if you're filling an 03-O hole in your date set, you may as well look for one. Here's a picture of mine (PCGS 64+)....
The 1903-O VAM 4A has similar marks. There's a lump on the obverse in front of Liberty's neck and on the reverse between the top wing edge and...
Toning seems legit, but not cause for a premium, since it's just a little bit on the reverse. For the variety, check VAM 9C.
It has spots, a chewed up rim, and unknown other stuff hiding behind the overexposed pictures. 62BN at best, likely AT. Once in a while, a GSC...
The "Goldfish" is a cool variety that's typically found in MS63-64. This one I'll say 63, tops, due to the hack on the nose. I've always liked...
Mine was a 1931 Mercury Dime (yes, for my prime number set). Took me a long time to find one I wanted. Your typical dealer at a show will have a...
Probably 38B, as I see the crack left of the first right star, too.
Yes. I won't go as far as saying it's more likely than not, but a fresh roll from the mint will probably have at most 3 die pairs. I have a roll...
79-O, 80-O, and 81-O come well struck. Don't be led into paying extra for one of these just because the strike is decent. It's not until 1883 when...
Wow! $9200 is not unreasonable for that. I've shot images of a high end collection of this kind stuff that this would be a centerpiece for....
Looks like you have strike doubling on the bottom of the 2.
It's not the big one, but you should look to see if it's any of the minor DDOs. There are 10 different DDOs, including the one that's obvious....
Uh, that's a 20-S. You realize that mistaking a 64 for a 65 is a $300,000 mistake on that date, right? ;) To respond to your initial question,...
Assuming the dealer with which you make the trade will be submitting to the TPG at the same time you would, it won't be any more or less likely to...
Separate names with a comma.
