Looks like you nailed it rick. I have the grade at au55. About a $60 +/- coin.

 

I love this VAM. It's a poster child for die polishing - like they used a drywall rasp on the die.

 

You guys think it's worth 39 bucks ?

 

Easily, to my mind. Even if it's only AU (and I'm getting the impression of significant luster from your images; I might call it Mint State in hand).

 

I have a system I use, not much different then the hand gun laws .

24 hour cool down stage, before I can buy it ...

 

Yes, go buy it right now for $39. You can keep a score or flip it for a nice little profit at that price... What's this 24hr thing?

 

It's to make sure I want to pull the trigger . Lol

 

I wouldn't buy it as a "flipper;" they're surprisingly common for such a notably defective die and supply/demand is such that the really liquid ones are in Mint State slabs. I've had them up to MS64. What it_is, is the first 1921 which will popularize the moment demand reaches that level. I like it at $39 but only with its' significance and the long term in mind.

 

Ok, I pulled the trigger .

I don't think the seller knows how to grade ...

 

I was just going off of properly identified raw pieces sold on ebay in mid au to low ms. They do seem to carry a relatively decent premium.

Rick, how long did it take you to come to 41b from those pics?

 

5 minutes, only because of the 17 berries and pitted reverse .

 

Gotta love a 21 you can vam in under 5 minutes. That's why I'm really starting to dig cracked up ones. It's fun as hell and just feels abnormally wrong but in a good way to vam a coin, and quickly, from die cracks alone. It's a trip.

I just picked up an infrequent reeding one for spot basically

 

There was only 6 to choose from .

Not a D2 Reverse, I hope. You come up with a VAM-44 at spot, I'm gonna have to hate you.

 

Thanks to the images on vam world of the 16 berries and the 17 berries ..

It made it real easy ....

 

Here's the areas to check for 16 berries, or 17 berries .

 

Oh, sorry, man. That was meant for Cascade; you and I were typing at the same time.

 

Nope unfortunately. I haven't had much experience with the infrequents but I knew enough to check the talon. I haven't had time to sit down with it yet but it's at about xf40 and some have pups that won't show in lower grades if I'm not mistaken so it may be a challenge.

 

I don't know which one I like more looking for errors .
Ikes or Morgan ...

Hell, I love them both ....
