Two Top Pop VAM's, And Dealer Story To Listen To

Weak, but present. It's the EDS version of the coin. The entire 'STATES OF' and 'od We Tru' is entirely flat and only looks outlined. Very strange for a AU coin.

Thanks for asking!

I need to see that coin. How's your picture taking?

Always hard to show 'flatness' with a flat bed scanner, huh?



You should be able to tell that the bottom serif of the first 'S' still has some depth, but the top of the S is flat against the background. The 'In G' has some depth as well.

The 'A' is totally flat with no depth what-so-ever.

Let me know if you need a different DPI scan.

Now I'm baffled. I never looked at the front once I realized what VAM it was. Now that you mentioned the flatness, the front is showing the same effect.

The date is flat against the surface, yet no real sign of significant wear. The stars are just as flat as the rest of it.

Notice the 3d effect of the hair with the lighting, and the absense of any lighting on the date.



Here's the mint mark area. Note on all of these pictures that the denticles around the edge are complete and not worn. Also notice the legs of the eagle has good detail.
