Message:: [QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26020704, member: 104064"]Thanks, that aligns with what I was told five+ years ago now. ANACS told me to go to CONECA or Wexler. I think at that time CONECA passed me on to VarietyVista and James Wiles. Dr. Wiles told me "25 years ago, CONECA made the decision to let the 19th century variety files be owned and maintained by the various specialty clubs." So in your case, I guess the "specialty club" is VSS and/or VAMWorld (not sure if they are connected). In my case, I would have to reference articles that I wrote myself, published in the BCCS journal. I'm sure the president and varieties team there would acknowledge that my "discovery" coins are the ones imaged in those articles. We'll see what happens. It's a goal of 2025 to finally try this again. I was essentially rejected or ignored by Wexler, CPG, Coin World, and Numismatist, so I gave up. VAMs are so popular that you probably had an easier time of this, and having discovery coin on the label likely gives it some extra value. In my case, nobody really cares, but getting discovery coin would be cool for me personally. I have three of them. Looking forward to seeing your results![/QUOTE]
