Why exactly is this broken-record troll allowed to continue here? He'd have been banned long ago at any of the other forums I participate in.

Tom's Disease is ignorance & stupidity.

Cool set and good grades.

Say, I also have an 1896 VAM-20. It is in a PCGS MS63DCAM holder. PCGS didn't retag it because MSDCAM has no coin number for the VAM but offered to do so at MS63DMPL when I send in my next batch. Think I should leave it undisturbed or get it retagged with the variety and DMPL instead of DCAM? (I think it is the only prooflike of the variety so far.)

Wolf359

Outside of the TRUT, I'm still looking for all those vams. Very nicely done!

I've PM'ed Tom, aka the troll, and asked him nicely to either join the discussion or depart. Please keep
an open mind here everybody. If he's in the 'vam closet', it's difficult to come out I know.

Yale68

I didn't know they had a DCAM designation, even in the non-VAM arena. Personally, I would probably leave it in its current holder.

Has to be a labeling error.

Yale68

I think its a labeling error - - also, coin number 7240 is an "ordinary" 1896

The DCAM holder is much rarer than the vam holder, even if it would be a pop 1 dmpl. It is at least an unofficial pop 1 dcam. I agree with Yale and keep the same holder.

Congrats on the grades Joe. A raw coin on ebay and you 65'd it at PCGS? Wow.

Yale68

Jim - - yeah, it was ebay item 8390528814 (sorry, don't know how to do a link)

Check out my VAM blah blah blah. That's not a broken record?

Some people - esp me - find the remark funny and light hearted.



get over it you self righteuos pr***.




Where else do you forum?

Wolf359

PM back. Something about a middle finger aimed at me.

Ok, this little worm has to go. I'll see what I can do to bam him.

I always thought he was funny...and enjoyed the light-hearted

13PacesEast

apparently irritability and a lack of a sense of humor are common symptoms of VAM's Disease.

I'm confused as to how such a labelling error can occur. I thought that designations like business strike, proof, cameo, prooflike, full bands, etc., were embedded in the PCGS number. For example, the number 7240.63 means exactly 1896 $1 MS63. If it were PL or DMPL, the number would be something like 87240.63. There should be no way of generating an MS63DCAM label unless the PCGS number and the grade are entered redundantly, or the grade can be manually overridden.
