Sorry about not cropping them but when I do I can't get it to under 200K with the optimizer unless I make it super small. No cropping and it's under 200K no problem. I wonder why that is?

Anyway, thought you guys would like to see this baby. Todd Pollock of BluCC really knows how to shoot tomers! Picked this up at long beach for $90 after talking it down from $110. I'm in love with these pics! Boy are they delicious Anyone wanna take a stab at what I could get on ebay for this baby?

And Dave, wanna take a VAM stab? You probably need pics of the ear and O though I'm guessing... I'm really digging those polish lines above the eagle. Wonder if they're listed on whichever VAM it is they're way more pronounced in hand and they were in the pic before the resize...

No guys. Don't think I'll be selling. Just a wondering others thoughts on value.

Frog, the color is hiding minor dings here and there and a light scrape in the focal field. I'd say it's 64 at best

Have a look at VAM 32 die 1 and VAM32A. I think it lands in there somewhere.

Ok, I give up vamming. JK lol but if vamming (in hand) wasn't so fun and relaxing (most of the time) I'd just be sending you pics dave. If I'm The Blind Vammer... you're The Photo Vammer!

You hit the nail on the head. It's a 32 die 1. BUT it is starting the crack for 32a so it's a transitional! So now we know the crack started at the berry and not the rim. Maybe it could be a good candidate for a VW page update? Anyway, here's the extent of the crack...

Now that I think about it though, since there technically IS a crack does it qualify as a 32a?

Maybe have this moved to the VAM section to see what Messydesk has to say about it. And yeah, the blind VAMmer strikes again!

It looks like it is the VAM 32A die pair, but the die crack isn't advanced enough to qualify being called VAM 32A. I would call this VAM 32.

Remember that cracks tend to grow gradually, although occasionally there are sudden, larger breaks that form. Kind of like chopping ice in your driveway.
