I've ventured into the earlier dates but found the prices to be intimidating just like the Morgan's and Peace Dollars. I was able to wiggle a few deals out of some sells by buying more than one from them. I got an '39MS68 for $300 which isn't that good and a 1940 PF67 for $285 which is good.
Cherrypicked this TOP-100 VAM beauty on the bay, unattributed, for only $70! She's an 88p VAM 11a. I can double my money with this kinda color and maybe pull up to $200 out of her with high grade pics. Much more blue in hand. VAMmin'... Gotta love it http://www.vamworld.com/1888-P+VAM-11A
Hugh, you should be ashamed of yourself for posting those worn out, sorry excuses for culls. And, yes, I AM KIDDING. Love to see your posts.
