    Time to let the vam out of the bag so to speak lol. My first discovery coin. Leroy has classified it as 1879p vam-83. I can't be more thrilled about my slice of vam history and can't wait for the next :)

    A thread-like under liberty and polishing lines in the eagles wing neck gap. Check out the VW link above :)

    OK, you're part of history now. :)

    There are a *bunch* of 1879-P's with similar doubling on the 9. I wonder how many of that year's VAMs could be consolidated with some in-depth study of the issue?

    History!.. You mean like forever? :eek::D

    Actually John told me someone is doing a 79p die study. I haven't tried to contact him yet though but if he's active on the vw board I'm sure he's seen it

    There are folks doing 1921's. My admiration for them knows no bounds.

    I'm surprised he hasn't come up with one yet; his attribution skills are inarguable.

    There you go, Dave. You know you've "made it" on the Internet when people start talking about you in the third person. :p
