The King is dead. Long live the King.

And what did I do that was 'sociably unacceptable'? Pull my pants down?

This one was about eddiespin, not you. You guys just don't seem to realize that words mean very_different_things when void of the context of personal presence. It's like a form of tone-deafness or color-blindness, and a pretty common one if the Internet at large is any indication.

You gotta choose your words more carefully when nobody can see you. This is one of the causes of newbies who only last one thread here and at other fora (across all types of them; CT is hardly unique) - they either communicate that way themselves and are immediately accused of trolling, or aren't "hardened" to people who don't understand how much context matters and leave in a huff after exploding.

 

I agree Dave. Words can be sharp weapons, but none of that was my intent........

 

And heck.......I don't see no newbees in this thread.

 

I don't believe for a minute that either of you have a malicious bone in your bodies.

 

I saw a flurry of activity on this thread since I posted and thought it might be about the coin...

 

What are you trying to do, ruin my bad reputation?

 

Let me ask you something, Dave. I'm writing words and you're hearing tones. Did it ever occur to you to just read the words? Here they are, again: "Prove it. Just show one with two in that cluster." There's nothing in those words that's offensive, is there? But they nonetheless draw offense because somebody is hearing things. Oh, brilliant. As though political correctness isn't enough of a chill on free speech, now we have voices emotionally-sensitive people are hearing we have to align our speech with.

Do you know what? You're starting to sound like Hillary, Dave. I'd be worried...

 

Easy Goer.

 

The fact that you didn't understand what I said kind of proves the point. It's not like this is my original thinking; any time you want to go out and learn about social and conversational cues, and what happens when they're not present, you can do it without my involvement. There's a large body of clinical research on the topic.

 

I wholeheartedly agree with Dave, I felt I was being called a liar. At which point I didn't appreciate it. When someone says prove it, show just one, to me, that means the person is pretty darn confident it can't proven. I've seen it here quite a few times..... Then on top of that, you called me emotionally-sensitive, thanks for the diagnosis Dr Phil, but no thanks. That was rather insulting as well. I'm from the other side of the tracks my friend, were not cut from the same cloth, me thinks.
I've never had any run-ins with you b4 , I generally found you to be respectful and quite knowledgeable. The quicker we shake hands and agree to disagree the better imho.
Let's call it a mistake on both our part, we are human after all......

 

I understand how you took it, and why, and that it was a plausible way to take it. It's when these things escalate that's the real problem. Thanks for understanding that, and for letting me off the hook.

I'm eating crow, now. You know that, don't you? I've never seen one like that. I'll tell you, though, this is the first time in my life I've ever been wrong. Ah, lol.

 

Hey I got 2 berries. So does that change the VAM, I would look but I'm getting ready to go my granddaughters soccer game

 

That is correct, your coin probably has a dot next to the base of the 1, which is why Anacs attributed it as a Vam 1.
'21 Morgan's are a Bear to Vam, we would need closeups of the upper tailfeather area(scribble zone) to perform this task, as I can't see any small details in your images, so it will make it that much harder

 

An important consideration with this particular coin (and attribution) is that a significant percentage of 1921 VAMs - the large majority of them - have been designated since it was slabbed. "VAM-1" is the generic designation for an as-yet undesignated 17-berry D1 reverse, just like "VAM-3" serves for the 16-berry D2.

It's very likely been designated in the years since, but as opposed to trying to attribute it I would suggest you'd more enjoy removing your own wisdom teeth.

 

Is this of any help

 

I don't know what app that is, but its pretty cool to say the least.... We(haha must be a mouse in my pocket) would need the area that the hand is covering in that picture... Just above the branches/arrow shaft intersection. To begin this quest.....
I was hoping superdave would pick up the slack here if I couldn't figure it out, but I guess he's not up to the challenge

 

That's what I wanted to say, but didn't know how to word it correctly... Messy desk taught me this lesson a few years back when I was trying to figure out why SEGS would label a vam 1 as a so-called zerbe die....

 

Oh, I'm up to it if there are scribbles and the images are good enough, but it's not for the faint of heart or a less-obsessive personality. If it's on VAMworld, I will find it, although I have one of my usual 15-mile walks planned for this afternoon which will take up a few hours.
