| @Silverskunk a good indicator as far as a VAM increasing the value of a coin is if it's on an established VAM list like Top 100, Hot 50, Kimpton 12, SuperCD, etc. If it's not on a list, it's less likely to be in high enough demand for buyers to be willing to pay a premium for it. |

| @VAMsforMoney my project is to try and decipher PMD from clashes in very unlikely positions on coins. The first area I'm focusing on is the Obverse Legend, or Liberty Band. The two coins I've posted pictures of are examples that I believe may have clashes within the Legend due to being VAMs having multiple clashes with rotated dies. I chose these two coins because the "damage" in this area appears to me to have structure beyond what I'd expect from bag marks or PMD. Your opinion is welcomed. |

Hello again all, I'm working on a project and looking for some feedback. I've noticed of late that I've been seeing what appears to be clashing within the Obverse Legend (Liberty Band) on different Morgan Dollars with rotated die clashes. I've been able to find basically nothing on the topic and wanted to get some opinions. The first example that I'd like to explore is a 1900-O VAM-15A that is pictured on VAMWorld. I've circled the section in question, it looks to me that the wreath bow may have clashed in this area, possibly twice as there are two similar looking "clashes" (or a clash and a counterclash) of varying strength. It even appears that the designers initial "M" is (counter)clashed between the I and B of LIBERTY. I'm aware that clashing doesn't typically take place in this area, but this looks too structured to me to simply be damage or bag marks, and with the rotated die clashes I thought it might be possible (if not probable). Any input would be greatly appreciated as always!

Hey all, just wanted to share a quick little project I was working on this past weekend. I bought an 1878-S Morgan paperweight last week, normally when I find coins like these they're polished to the moon but this one looks original. It took a couple of days in acetone to dissolve the lucite enough to get her out, but she is now free. Here's the before and after:
Let me know what you guys think, thanks as always! |
