Thanks for the help everyone &

I've looked at that section under every light and angle and there is just nothing there unfortunately. May be so faint that the grainy surface texture just hides it.
effectively no E :(

Looks like a VAM 14, all the markers but mine are quite a bit stronger than on the photos on Heritage

Thanks &

P.S. there is some funny business going on with the denticles below the date, they look kind of doubled and off-set but not too sure

Hello,
Just had this 1889 o Morgan conserved and graded and I realised that its some kind of clashed VAM. It doesn't seem to be the Vam1A or Vam20A so some help with identification would be great!
I would have put variety attribution when grading but it was so covered in PVC it was bright green with such a THICK layer of sludge that I couldn't even see the big clash mark to the right of the eagles wing.
NGC 62 btw

Italy Papal States Benedict Xiv Possible Baiocco / Half Baiocco Mule Coin?

Hello everyone!

I've had a look at the old baiocco varieties from the 18th century and I haven't been able to find this exact style of coin.
Generally the obverse design of the 1/2 baiocco with the papal state of arms seems more curly with more swirls where the 1 baiocco obverse is almost always straight with almost no swirls

Purely a hunch but I suspect that this may be a mule of a 1/2 rev & 1 obv but there seems to be so many varieties and this is an area with not much research so I really can't say for sure.

The diameter of both the 1/2 and 1 baiocco is pretty similar so it's not impossible.

Any thoughts?

Wow!
What a catch!

If we go by the Sheldon grading scale I would have to say MS 63 / 64 details cleaned. American companies are generally a LOT more lenient on jubilee crowns that aren't from 1887, especially 1888. There is some softness in the brooch Victoria has but it doesn't seem like wear. The way I've been able to tell apart AU jubilee crowns from MS is if you can see all of St George's knuckles holding the sword and if the horse has a both an eyelid and eye that havent blended together. Also any flatness on the dragons chest / Victoria's veil.

Great score &

.

Worth £110+ any day of the week

My Ms 63 for comparison

Hello,
Back again with more overstrike shenanigans. Found this 1889 North Borneo cent that has a seemingly unique overstrike / overdate that made it into an 1899. I've looked at it from many angles and it isn't a die chip on the right hand side of the 8 making it look like a 9. The whole date is cracked and wobbly like many overdates on other coins too.

Last photo is what every other 1889 looks like for reference

Any info on it would be great,

Thanks for looking

1881 P VAM-1-H Morgan Dollar - Seemingly Uncommon

Hello,
Just picked this Morgan dollar out of a small pile of random Morgan dollars I had and I've successfully identified it as a Vam 1H. Has all the identifying features and confirmed by the distinct die polishing lines in the fine details.

Had a quick look on the internet and I can't find any kind of sold listings / price guide and I would just like to know the scarcity of it too.

It's cleaned, and a minor variety too so probably no luck but would bring some peace of mind to know

Many thanks from across the pond!

Hello,
It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction for this coin. It's silver and looks to be hammered.

Weight is 4.83 grams.

Many thanks

Hello everyone,

I really don't have experience with high grade Morgan dollar's over here across the pond (UK).

It would be great if you guys could pitch in and say whether it will straight grade with the hairlines. (Before I generously donate £25 to NGC for them to break my heart)

Thanks

Looks like it's probably just a few scratches.
If it's die polishing at the very least my one doesn't have it.

Hello everyone,
You've all made some good points ( and I am open to being proved wrong) but I just can't imagine re-engraved dies creating that little curve at the bottom.

Does anybody know where I might be able to send this to have my theory confirmed / denied? I've looked around and it seems that only Ken Potter was doing this and he has now stopped accepting submissions.

Anyone else that does this kind of thing for world coins?
