I have pointed out the extra polishing that I do not see called our on VAMWorld and cannot see it on the VAM 144 or 144A full coin examples. Just curious what you may think about it being a later stage than 144A. It has a gun metal color to it and cannot tell if there is letter transfer or not.

It has been several years since I have posted on VAMWorld and have forgotten how.

Looks like a 144A to me and it could be that the over polishing simply wasn't deemed extreme enough to warrant a note/close ups. As the Reverse full coin photos for the 144A on the Vamworld page seem to have similar (but lighter) polishing to yours.

and here's a link to the VamWorld2.0 Discussion Forum but you'll need to make or sign in to a account to post a New topic.

Thanks, johnhenry9009! I have an account with them just don't remember how to put up pics. I'll figure it out. Yeah, I suppose it's just a little later stage than the 144A, thank you for looking.

No problem and to post photos you'll need to click on the middle Attchment tab beneath the box.

Then tap the Add file then you can add a photo (I believe the photo/file needs to be under 5MB but I could be wrong).

After the photo is added you can chose to put it in the text box by hitting the Place inline and that just makes the photo a bit bigger and it won't be in a box. it really doesn't matter but still.

Thank you, sir! I knew it was easier on 2.0 than on the original VAMWorld, that was a whole thing to have it properly formatted and getting it to upload.
