1883-O Morgan VAM 21A

Picked this up last week. The 83-O VAM 21A has a clashed 'n' from 'In' near Liberty's neck, doubled 18 in the date, and a clashed designer's initial 'm' over 'God'.

The full-coin images are from a flatbed scanner.

How do you think it would grade at PCGS?

nesvt,

Cool VAM! What did it set you back, what is the rarity, is it a Top 100 or Top 50 and do you know what it is worth?

Thanks Frank³. The dealer wanted a little extra for the toning. I like toned coins, but there's no color on this one. It's just a black bar across her face. I paid $60 and it was graded MS64. It looks MS63, maybe 64-ish.

I believe the recent VAM Price Guide is based on realized sales. It shows this VAM at $1800 in MS62. It doesn't have any higher grades listed. :smile

Great catch! I love a good cherrypicking sotry!

 

Nevst,
I like it as a 64, assuming it has good luster. Nice pickup! Someday I can only hope to be able to cherrypick half as much as you. : )

 

Another good cherrypicking story! Looks like a solid 64, maybe a 65 to me.
