That is a very nice example, Eduard. A lot of detail left on that coin, and few planchet problems. I like the doubled 1 in the ate (repunched?) A...
Sometimes it's good to "go with your gut."
I'm afraid I have to agree with the majority.
Wouldn't that be a hoot- if non-VAMs turn out to be rare?
If the coin was lightly circulated before being put away, it may only lose luster on the high points (cheek, eagle breast and wingtips) and still...
Nice coins with well-executed designs, history, and AFFORDABLE. What's not to like?
It can be hard to tell from photos if a coin has been cleaned abrasively. I suggest taking a point source light, such as an LED flashlight, and a...
Well, that's very nice. I'm sure it will be a valued part of your collection because of the association. Collectors seem to be a pretty generous...
Nice detail on that one, also you can see a die clash at around 7 on the reverse. I don't find the dig too distracting, but I am afraid I don't...

You guys are good! It is the 4-B- looks just like the Vamworld photo. I didn't look hard enough. A couple of years ago, when I started collecting,...
There is a die crack that pretty much runs all the way around the reverse lettering. A second crack starts at the top left corner of the E and...
Here are a couple of crusty busties, I really like these, especially the half with that "circam" look. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
After reading threads by FreakyGarrett and Toad, concerning VAMs, I had this 1884-cc Morgan sitting on the desk and decided to take a closer look...
Neat find! It's fun when you can pick these scarcities up for no premium.
