One 1878 8TF And One 7/8TF

Yes the first one is a 14.6. Here's a close-up of the ear.





The second is not a VAM 30 ... here's a little more help

I was thinking a 41-a late die state

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. That's a weak reverse. The coin is unattributed in a PCGS 63 holder.

It's hard to see the "bearded lady" (blue arrow) aspect of the 41C from photographs. My pick-up point with that reverse is clashing around the mouth (yellow arrow) and the wing clash off the neck (red arrow). I had to manipulate that shot to show the "bearding".




As with all contests, the decision of the judge is final. Alladinslamp is our winner (even though was not the first on the 14.6). Email coming to you.

I'm elated! Those dreams don't go away, they will get worse.




Looks like you've enrolled in the 15-step program. It's the only known cure.

Wish I could sit down with you and go through those. My sources are limited here. There are a couple of notorious VAMmers in the region.

Judd1552,

I already divulged the VAMs

The first is a 14.6 and the second a 41C. The VAM 3 does have a crack that goes from the rim to the left side of the fourth right star, but it stops at the star. The crack on the 14.6 is on the right side of that star and continues to the hair.
