G'Day all received this in the last couple of weeks off EBid brought it as a hole filler it turned out to be a VAM 2 so I thought I'd show it for interest its been cleaned but the cleaning wasn't stated in the discription I kept it because its a VAM 2 :desk: just a few photo's to start with regards Harry
Nice looking coin even with the cleaning , love the MM , never saw that VAM before except in the book , thanks for posting . BTW what book did you use to tell it was a S/S Left VAM 2 ? rzage
lOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE SOME DIE CHIPS IN THE 2nd 8 on the right side . A closeup of the date would be nice if it does , rzage
Rusty I'll put a photo up of the eight as well as the denticals below the eight and seven this is a keypoint to a VAM 2 regards Harry
Can't see any die chips , but my book says it only appears in some VAM 2 examples , but your MM is an excellant example of the VAM 2 , it's a keeper alright . rzage
For more info on this VAM checkout this URL .. http://www.vamworld.com/1887-S+VAM-2 Vamworld.com shows many great examples and sometimes price guidelines.
No problem , from your pics it looks like the dentils are slightly damaged , like I said it's a keeper , 1 of the top 100 VAMs . rzage:thumb:
Thanks for your comments TP,Rusty and Frank :thumb: this came from the same seller that sold me the 1884 O AU VAM 48 hole filler so both coins weren't discribed as VAM's :whistle: ,just lucky I guess regards Harry :stooge:
Now you are going to tell us that he goes by the Seller name of "Unattributed VAM King", right???!!! I think that I would make this my favorite Seller! I just love Seller's that haven't a care whether a Morgan or Peace Dollar is a VAM or any other coin has an error or not and sells them for just what they are! Frank
I don't know if I'm allowed to say the traders name Saratogatrader (and yes unattributed VAM King would be a good place to shop) but I've said it anyway and most of the time he is spot on with his description tho as you know he sell's the coin as is or by date and mint regards Harry :stooge:
