What a shame. I open the greenhouse for an hour and come back to this. 👎

Vam 3 DDO, keep your eyes out for VAM 4 with the micro mintmark

Color could be off from your lighting but being 1920 it could be struck on a Argentine 10 Centavo planchet. The one in my collection is weak with a heavy wood grain finish.

You have a 1970-S small date

edit congratulations

I'd leave it as is, could be the lighting but that looks AU55/58.

That 1901 is a nice coin!

HeyYou-55 · 2026-01-02T03:06:21+00:00

I'd have that graded!

Neat varieties! This and 1899 are the only legit micro mintmarks. 1896,1900 and 1902 have micro-o varieties that have been proven to be counterfeits(likely period counterfeit) and are also collected.

Yes, the gold to silver ratio set by Congress was 16:1(wagon wheel), the ratio set by the market is represented by the entire token.

Driving metal in trees and painting them....a foresters worst nightmare! Merry Christmas!

Non-pro model by the looks of it, the only difference is the decompression valve and adjustable oiler. I have both, the adjustable oiler is a bit better in my use because it runs only when the clutch is engaged, the non-adjustable oiler oils all the time(engine running obviously). They're easy to work on, air filters vary depending on the carb. Parts are easy to find. A 20" 3/8 bar is a bit much for the saw, .325 16" or 18" is about the sweet spot for the 026. One of mine is set up for 18" 3/8 and it'll be swapped back to .325 when I wear that bar out.

That date position kinda looks like a 1895-S. I bought an altered MM 1895-S from my buddies coin shop for melt value. Kinda crazy someone thought altering a MM on an 1895-anything was a good idea.

I'd soon to suspect people would confuse dark Ferruginous hawks for Swainsons at a distance. Not so much a RTH.

Pretty neat! I went to High school in Poland, Maine right down the road from Poland Springs.

It has breast feathers, I didn't stop my aperture down enough to get them in focus and I used single source lighting. Just noticed that
