Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/17/2012 11:41 pm Im still learning how to spot the date doubling easily... As for the dash under the eight, is it always easy to see or can it be very small? I believe this first coin is a VAM 5 (GSA#4318) This second one is a VAM 4 not a VAM 5 because it dosent have the Die scratch Denticles on the reverse, near the bottom... I think Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/17/2012 11:52 pm I assumed thats how the dashes appear, just nice to make sure :) So these are VAM 5 and VAM 4 examples? Report this Post to the Staff

Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/19/2012 04:20 am Thanks Phil yes I was on that site for a while Saturday... Looking for VAMs just feels so time consuming, and a bit subjective... I just need to get myself organized maybe use a magnifying glass or take some bigger pictures to study what I have. My eyes are still getting tricked into seeing every date as doubled at first.... Report this Post to the Staff
TonedMo87 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 03/19/2012 12:14 pm I had the exact same problem Cali_Nick, I would see everything I looked at as "doubling". After a long time of looking at them, it became easier with time. My suggestion is to buy a legit doubled coin for reference, its so much easier having one in person! -Dan Report this Post to the Staff
