VAMWorld 2.0

They are doable. Either Brent or I can get it in soon enough.

And some just plain post in the wrong categories. Happens to the best and most organized. The ones that get me are bust halves in early dollars. Twice I almost pulled the trigger on "an unlisted dollar" only to then note the base of the bust being that of the half. The "early" dollar category name a...

Here is the TrueView for that BB-181. For those unfamiliar with these, the PUPs are the die poop around the 11th star on the obverse (adjacent to Liberty's chin) and the leaf connected to the lower right corner of the I/AMERICA on the reverse. 40129417_medium.jpg I agree on that and a handful of oth...

Going back to private can be a very good thing but it actually could go both ways. The big advantage is that the investors can be a bit more patient on results, whereas being chained to the SEC opens a listed company to class action suits and board shuffles over short-horizon fiduciary disagreements.

Sent two in during the promotion over the summer. The first one just posted. 40047 1799 $1 B-19 BB-155 F12 USA 40067 1800 $1 B-1 BB-181 VF30 USA 3799 1872 5C MS62 USA -- FS-305 133973 1878 7TF $1 R78 VAM 79 Fill in 8s MS64 USA 133920 1888-O $1 VAM 9 Doubled Arrows MS65 USA 134016 1889-O $1 VAM 20A W...

You too! And good to see you,

All Registry changes made.

Can barely see that polish line in the last 8. Good pick!

I added them to the SSDC Registry.

Hoping for a complete and easy recovery.

I wonder if I will ever attend or set up at another coin show. Maybe FUN 2022 or 2023.

Sent in mainly for the Dan Carr ones to complete the set (still have one I need to send in). Added a bunch of raw ones which I knew were mainly AU and some cleaned. A number of them were not in the Registry, being the reason to send them off so I didn't accidentally sell them on eBay. The 1811 half ...

Got a bunch of PMs, texts, and emails. I think what I will do is set up a digital bid board and advertise it on the BSTA for the books, VAMs, etc. If it works can open it up for others to use.

I have it and was going to sell off most of my books.

Yeah, it is here. Bought it from David Wang and never opened it actually.

Wonder if the planchet fell into the minter's soup or something. I am guessing it came with the planchet and was not on the dies.

It is the off-center BB-51 and looks completely genuine to me. It is not clashed. The cloud design just has that look and the overall production quality at the Mint in 1795 was not exactly top notch. And it is VERY plentiful. Highly promoted forever because it is a single-use obverse design die, but...

While not particularly scarce, for whatever reason, that VAM has represented many of the most wonderful toners of the date. Maybe there was a bag of them in the Continental Bank?

It runs through the end of the year. I am only doing early dollars and can wait until the surge subsides a bit. That way, too, I don't have as many of the inevitable ones to add right after I send in a submission.

Wait.. someone paid $80 bucks for an MS63 1902-o in 1994?

From the Teletrade Real Price Guide 1993-1994 (I have a number of them for different years.)

1889 Morgans are soooooo common. *yawn*
