You have now inspired me to go back and look at all of my 84CC's

Congratulations!

Way to go Earl!!

Mr. Van Allen attributed the ones below as an 1882CC Pinned Wing VAM-3A (revised).

You might want to take a look at your 1882CC's for a pinned wing as well while your at it.

Steve Strong (forum member DWSWS) and I each have an 1882CC with the same die gouge as shown below kinda similar-but not exact to Earl's 1884CC discovery.

I posted these here as now it's more a curiosity and mystery for the pinned wing die gouge (not to jump on Earls' thread, which I have a habit of doing, but to present this mystery to others here). A mystery like...could it be an intentional mark left behind by a certain mint employee after a previous polishing or other maintenance action to a die. Maybe like dots appearing on dies of other coins.

I love getting those letters..................Congrats, nice find.



Dang it you guys slow down and allow me to find a few VAMs.

Congrats!

Too bad Van Allen lives out in Ohio, I recently saw a letter that indicated Mallis lived in Albertson, NY before his death (which is only a stones throw from me).

Earl- keep finding em.

I just popped my CC case and pulled out my 84CC heheh- I lookie at the picture you post, and I lookie at my Morgan- bingo a new Vam in my collection- a 4A- in the exact same wing placement.

now when the microscope attachment gets here- we are having a party of Vam shots- and I will do a photobucket thingy for just the ones I have found.

So a rarity of 5- in 63 money? $400 maybe?

eyoung429

I honestly don't know.... I haven't been that good at the pricing of vam's at all.... One that I thought was going to go for moon money was the 1B6 that I picked up....I had a proxy of $150 and got it for under $30...guess nobody else saw it. But when I put in a bid of approx $47 for the coin that M4M picked up, I didn't go high enough nor did I leave myself enough time to put in a higher bid.

Someone in the physics world should put all Morgans under an electron microscope, I'll bet we can find about a million more VAMs at the molecular level!

Slip- I know you jest, but all I have is a nice 10xX35x micro- I have bad eyes- and it does help when ya can see it under slight magnification.

So far I have what I hope to be at least 10 or more Vams that can go into a registry, now I want to gather these up- send em off to mr. Allen for authentication(letter) and then send em to PCGS- since they are already in PCGS holders, get the attribute and put em back in my growing set.

oh Laura- I collect classics and MODERNS, so I must be a wannabee, maybe she can broker these fro me later in life.

Great find congrats

EJB

.......Thanks for the Info, Checked my CCs and my 1882 cc (GSA) has the pinned wing in the exact spot, I would have never found it with out this post.....Thanks..............

eyoung429

Sounds like a lot of people are going to be having a good week as well!!!!

EJB

....I think that everbody that has a CC or two will check them after this post.........

Is the 1882 CC pictured with Mad4Morgans name the VAM 3 ? Just curious caus when I see the pics. and VAM #'s
I can't help but pull out mine.

Now that's cool!

Wow Nice coin!!

Yes it is a VAM-3A (Revised) It was revised by Leroy Van Allen because of the pinned wing die gouge.

It's cool that others are finding the same type die gouges.

Steve Strong's pinned wing VAM-3A (revised) is severly clashed and actually may be an 1882CC VAM-6A. One day we need to send them in together to Mr. Van Allen for a closer look.

Now you really got to wonder why that particular die gouge is there on the CC dollars.

MORGANHUNTER2

TTT

Who has a hot 50 list and possibly and updated edition of the Vam book?

I found a 21-P 53 yesterday. Roughly the same area for the gouge. Maybe someone should write a book on "pinned wing" Morgans!

Them things are popping up everywhere!!

Maybe we can have another "Pinned Wing" TOP-50 series!!

JRocco

Just checked my 82CC and it too has a nice pinned wing. This is an 1882CC VAM 6.

MAD4MORGANS

AHA!!

Steve Strong's 1882CC "Pinned Wing" is heavily clashed and looks like a VAM-6A but matches our VAM-3A (Revised) except for the degree of clashing.

We suspect the VAM-6A and VAM-3A revised may share the same reverse.

This may be the proof we were looking for.

Here are the diagnostics on my 82CC for verification M4M
