    Normally I don't. This one sort of caught my eye. I think it is another 86 VAM 1-C. I circled the pickup points on the reverse. It is hard to see VAMS on toned coins, much less guess a grade. Got it for seller's reserve so it didn't cost much. I've decided to collect this particular VAM at the right price. This will make #5.

    The black circles? I did that with MS Paint. Here's the link.

    I like blast white coins in high grades. I also like some toning so I have a few. In lower grades I like the coin to look natural.

    I'm the same. Works out for me, toned coins always cost a lot more money and are more highly sought after. More blast white coins with blazing luster for me.:D

    You are correct, those are not my pictures. :D I just downloaded sellers pics and edited the last one with paint to point out clashes. Until I make a camera stand, there's no hope for improvement taking my own photos.:oops:

    All Morgans, I say, all Morgans are collectable in my opinion.

    Well I have to agree to disagree. I have quite a few that are quarantined to the bullion pile. :D

    If it was made someone collects it. All coins are collectible to someone. All coins can be melted. Some coins should be melted.
