asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 08:55 am I am new to Vamming and recently purchased this unattributed I am almost positive it is a VAM-144-A with all obverse attributes But I noticed other anomalies on the reverse Is this not a 144A? Maybe another VAM? I do not have any books. I go by VAMworld.com and I couldnt find anything on there with the doubling on the reverse Need some help on this one.

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 09:10 am I can't see the imageshack photos from work ... just little red X's. Check the 'O' in God (assuming it's a second reverse with short arrow nock). Vams 140-146 have an open 'O'. Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 09:41 am Yes I have an open 0. Sorry about the imageshack. I need a better image-hoster for free Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 09:41 am The open O is one of the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 12:59 pm If it has parallel arrow feathers and a short nock (second reverse) and an open 'O' then it's limited to Vams 140-146. I'll give it a look tonight to verify. Another option for image hosting is right here on CCF. Check out the member galleries link on the left.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:39 pm I think I'm calling this one 144 rather than 144A, because 144A is defined by clashing I don't see here. Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 4:52 pm The 144 should have the missing nostril. This has a full nostril Report this Post to the Staff

This has a full nostril Have a look at the full-face images posted for this VAM at VAMworld, and the bottom detail pic directly above them. You'll see the same partial nostril as your coin shows. Not sure I trust that first detail image showing the open nostril. Still doesn't matter - no clashing, no 144A. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 9:51 pm It's a 144 for sure. Amazing what you can do when you can see the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 06:57 am Thanks! I was really thrown with the nostril I thought it had to be completely missing! And the Doubling on the reverse isn't anything to be concerned about? I dont see anything on vamworld that mentions reverse doubling Report this Post to the Staff

asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 08:46 am Lol Thank you seatednut! And everybody else on coincommunity for all your help! Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 3:12 pm I don't think that's an unreasonable price. As regards the doubling: It may be Machine Doubling, or maybe just something not recorded for the VAM. I lean toward the former, because it's pretty prominent and I can't see it going missed by whoever researched the coin. VAM-140, another use of this reverse, doesn't show the doubling either.
