A condensed, gentle introduction to collecting varieties of any series where a large, intimidating work exists is a good idea. The Top 100 VAMS...
That's nothing. You can (and I have) fit 2 small flat rate boxes inside a padded flat rate envelope.
All 1900-O VAM 15 coins come clashed, so there's no need to differentiate them from coins called VAM 15A for pricing. Most of them have 2 clashes,...
I'd say F15
Take a look at PCGS's retail price guide. For $20 you should be able to get a problem free XF-AU coin. 1913 Type 1 is typically very well struck...
Table 1115 Thursday afternoon through Saturday. VAM Thing XV on Friday afternoon at 3:45.
I guess I'd rather be selling a 60 with a gold bean than a 61 with a green one, since gold beans tend to be rational thought inhibitors for enough...
Not a fan of the color.
Given the choice, I'd want to see both coins. Yeah, it's a cop-out answer, but I don't select coins sight-unseen, especially if I'm needing to...
The demand for that variety in 65 is no greater than the demand for a generic one in high grade. The red stars came from a 2003 book on 1921-D...
No difference either way.
Auction archives are free and relatively easy to search if you're looking for actual transactions for valuation. As for whether I'd prefer PCGS...
Reeds that are straight are formed by the collar die which moves into place at the time the coin is struck and then retracts when the struck coin...
Looks like a missing clad layer, as mentioned. The part with no detail was missing at striking and is unstruck. The rest of the missing part was...
It has the details of an AU coin, but has been cleaned. It's not an O/S. Worth about $20.
You need to be an SSDC member to access these.
The populations on VAMWorld aren't maintained. I was looking at the SSDC registry, which supplies population reports as people register their coins.
Looks like it was August 2016. I have a bulk order with serial numbers starting with 818 that came back around then. They seem to restart the...
Late to the thread, but I agree with having this graded, especially if someone can piggy-back it onto another order and save all the shipping and...
This is one of the things I tell people to do when they go to their first big show and are learning grading. As a bonus, lot viewing often starts...
Separate names with a comma.
