My first post- 5 years of reading-I finally signed up

I would first like to compliment all of you for being so understanding and patient. I have been collecting coins seriously for the last five years now. I have so many fun coin adventures to share on the forum. But I must first take the time to thank the members here for all of the useful information/tips with this hobby.
I just purchased a few rolls of Peace dollars and noticed one of them is a 19_2, obviously missing a 2. Under a loop, its just missing. Its around VF. I will figure out how to post a picture later. With all of the Vams out there, I didn't see anything mentioning that date. Has anyone seen such a coin? A Vam variety may have some little line in it and it makes top 100, yet an error missing a date number is probably nothing.
One last note- I am going to have to figure out how to insert a cool coin next to my name, I hope that I am not using someones elses icon. I have a 1915-S Indian Gold ten that is only a PCGS AU55, but it is one of the prettiest coin that I own. It has an orange peal color to it. That might be a good start.

    welcome to the boards!

    the missing "2" on your peace dollar is likely the result of a grease-filled die -- if you post a pic, folks here will be able to confirm if that's the case.

    Welcome.

    I don't have an answer on the Peace dollar but I'd imagine someone will.

    Welcome aboard, and if possible pictures help us answer many questions. You $10 Indian sounds like a great coin. Would love to see photos of it.

    Welcome aboard.

    Of course it looks like you've already been aboard. image

    In light of the fact that more than half an hour after you
    signed up you don't have a single cheet post yet (and, of
    course that it took you five years to sign up), I'm going to
    wager you don't get your 10,000 posts soon.

    Hang in there, though.

    have fun on the boards but watch out for the sticker-dudes. they get touchy-sticky when you comment about stickers

    you'll know 'em by how they bluster & fluster about sticky things.

    Welcome. The missing 2 is either a grease-filled die or an alteration. Once upon a time, missing letters were counted as separate VAMs, but that is no longer the case, as they are striking errors and not indicative of a different die or die stage. Nevertheless, they are still sought by collectors, simply because they're cool.

    Don't wait another 5 years to make your second post.

    John beat me to it.

    Agreed wouldnt get it's own VAM number but would still be cool to see if you ever get around to posting pictures let me know.

    Also welcome to the boards... even though you've been here a while image
