I generally have not bought 1797 Bust dollars as I feel it is a relatively overpriced date. But there are only 3 die pairs and now I am only missing one of them.

got a couple new goodies this weekend but for now I just share this pretty
Once again "details" i can live with.
Darn nice for a cleaned coin. Not sure if I see it.
It's in hand now and I can't see why they called it cleaned... no hairlines just some mushed denticles on the obverse that might have detailed it but i would think corrosion or env dmg not cleaning Either way is a beautiful half cent well worth what i paid out
Thank you, alefzero. I did figure that out eventually, but I was having a difficult time seeing the reverse diagnostics. I eventually went through all of the dozens of VAMs and determined that it didn't matter much and that it must be the VAM 6. Also, I am not aware that this carries any premium. Do you know if it does? Thanks again.

It should carry a premium. The DDO die was paired with other reverses, this being the first identified and the most common. But a nicely presenting PCGS MS65 gem should be a premium coin. I have had a few in that grade and a PCGS MS66. Not sure what the pops are for that variety presently, but if it is still condition census, there are registry players who likely would pay up some for it.
I looked at the SSDC Registry and there is a 66+, three 66, and nine in 65. Assuredly there are more than that many working on competitive Top 100 VAM sets.
No. I don't want to share the horrible, environmentally damaged, cleaned, artificially toned Spanish Trail I bought that will be returned soon. Circulated STs are scarce so I felt I had to purchase the coin to examine it for my circulated commemoratives collection. However, I'm not going to throw that amt of money for a coin I don't like.
I'm not sure it's even authentic. I'll have to check the serifs and lettering.
(5 minutes later): Yup, it's a fake. It flunks the "ring" test ("dink"). and the letter serifs are wrong. Funny thing is I posted about a similar untoned fake Spanish Trail here not long ago. This one was darkly toned, and the seller's photos were poor, but I should have caught it. I stumbled across this coin shortly before auction closing, and they had a return policy, so I took that gamble. Because it's a counterfeit coin, I'll show the seller's photo of the obverse (reverse photo is too dark to see much).

if you ever get them raw, you can get images like this, well better quality. this was one of my first coin(s) to image like this. i didn't crop out the unnecessary area.
I’m such a big spender. I picked this one up for $1.50

Yes. @Vetter deserves the coveted "You Suck" award for a fabulous cherry pick, no doubt. But sadly, he now has to look at that coin with a crippled buffalo often, and buffalo nickels are just so damn crude and ugly to begin with.
I'd sell it and purchase a fake Spanish Trail that's corroded, cleaned, and with ugly artificial toning on the reverse instead (see above). A coin worthy of a "You da Man!" cherry-pick award. That's when you spend over 100 times what the coin is worth.
I don't think over polished dies are all that significant, either. For example, among SLHs, there's the 1845-O no drapery...who cares? They're just over-polished dies. They're not 1839 no draperies, which should be considered a type within the series, IMO. However, based upon the market value of 37-D 3 legged buffalos, I'm in the "tasteful minority".
I have this date as well, passed down from uncle. I have noticed on well lit pictures that there seem to be a lot of cleaning to coins of this date (mine has/had PL surfaces but baggy and graded 53 at hosts) - can you share some better pictures in hand?
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
1795 BB-14 Flowing Hair Dollar (hidden star). PCGS VG Details. Possible Silver Plug. I have another (BB-14 PCGS VG Details Silver Plug) in the same grade that I crossed from NGC F Details. Waiting for this new one in hand, but does look like a possible silver plug. If not, it is still a cool coin. (Edited upon receipt: Not a silver plug, but a perfectly nice coin.)
Taken with two different lens on an old nikon D3100, but still not that great of an outcome.
Still need to brush up on my photography skills.
Oh Wow, when you said Brush up of my photography skills , I dont know why but I read that you were going to take a brush to the dime to clean it up better...

My very first modern NGC coin.

Finally located an Uncirculated 1877-S C-3 Broken Arrows Trade dollar. These are more typically VF/XF and half of them have problems.
Very nice! 👍

All are MS66.

A worn-out, over polished die Buffalo nickel? I'd have passed.
You would have passed on a 37d 3 leg buffalo for $1.50? Not the smartest thing I have heard here...
As for @Vetter Awesome pickup!!!

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Got this one today and I got it from Carson City which makes it extra fun. It's the only Morgan in my collection (but that may change soon).
I looked for this for a long time; it's too expensive for me to buy in a high grade, but I don't like Walkers in grades below 40. So it took a while.
1902 S. Cracked out of an old anacs holder. 63 to 63.

Two more joined the collection today, just in time to oogle over them all weekend long.
I was planning to buy a 65 CAC Peace...and this is basically it, a 66 "C" coin. Really nice strike!
I know what many think of Hansen coins, but most Ikes don't have TrueViews - this is my first coin with one, hopefully the first of many to come!
