<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Becky, post: 98141, member: 4423&quot;]First of all, your daughter is a cutie!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a little about die states. Vamming can be all about the die state. Here&#039;s how it can go. A die cracks, at this point early in the life of the crack, it&#039;s just that, a crack. Later on it breaks, now you get those wonderful chunks of metal and it&#039;s a VAM. LDS(late die states) almost always are worth way more than EDS(early). Sometimes EDS don&#039;t qualify for a special VAM number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a scan from the Hot 50 book, it&#039;s the area I asked you to post a pic of by the wreath. As you can see from the pic, your coin has more detail on the leaf. I am guessing at this point that when your coin was struck, the die was in better condition than it was when the coin in the pic was struck. Just a guess, but you can see the small difference in the area. Though it may be the angle of your pic, or some other related problem. The characteristics are all there, just looks a little different.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Becky7474/924b2cb4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
