VAMWorld 2.0

I just built a small cottage industry around a ridiculous windfall purchase at a government auction.
Labor and shipping takes about an hour a day. I should have five years supply of materials.
Every dime of income is going to precious metals. Silver, gold and lead.

JR,
"It's like there's a deliberate effort to break the post office"
I wouldn't rule it out.

I find it difficult to keep up with all the activities on VAMWORLD, but this is worthy of my appraisal.
Thank you Roger, and congratulations.

Sorry for the disconnect. My life has become a bit scrambled. In some ways for the better. I see the gouge under the "D" on the V-47 and perhaps reminants of same on V-29. To further the confusion I would ask you to look at V-21 die 1. It has many of the features of the other two, but the "we" havin...

Alan, I'm have difficulty thinking clearly. Been pushing myself too hard lately. But I see the features of which you speak. The additional wrinkle is VAM-21 Die 1. The scratch/gouge below "D" is nearly worn away, and the "e" in we is filled, but I don't see the chip in "w" of we (right top). I could...

I believe that it is only a matter of time before someone comes up with a scale from 1 to 100. And if that scale is accompanied with a computer scanning process to assign a grade, that person will shake up the industry. Imagine the number of coins that will be resubmitted for grading. I'm not saying...

Thanks for the update.

I said I wasn't going to purchase until prices dropped, but I gave in and picked up a couple that were upgrades for the reference collection. I'm weak.

Any updates?
Like many others, I would like to submit a coin or two, but only if Leroy is ready.

Thanks for your insight. Time will tell. I would really be happy to se silver to go back into the $30 range."

My belief is that silver will ultimately rise to a fair market price. But until then, price suppression gives me more time to stock up.

I think you are correct.

Does this mean they have valued the coin at $.101125?

I'm wishing you the very best and speedy recovery.

"And Roger, it's only a matter of time before a couple of the services wander into PL+ designations. -PL wouldn't be far behind." - JR How far we've come. There was a time when even Leroy would disdain the distinction between an MS63 and an MS64. The first person to offer grading by a computer scan ...

Thanks for sharing, and congratulations. I hope this is an indication that Leroy and Marilyn are doing better.
I've been reluctant to send anything for a while.

Anyone else hear about ebay separating from Paypal?

I agree. And could add a few of my own horror stories.
To compound difficulties, they are no longer answering the phones (as though COVID is transmittable over phone lines.)
My image of the future includes more coin shows where the middle man is eliminated.

This should have been included in my "Doom and Gloom" list.

Chris, that isn't a hole that broke out. My father was a Naval Reservist that served on active duty in the Pacific theater of operations in WWII. It happens. Dog tags get caught on things and get pulled off and lost in the heat of the moment. If they didn't, they wouldn't come with breakaway chains....
