Some of the VAMs on the Top 100 list don't even carry a premium. Some were put on the list to give collectors an easy goal... and find a variety with unique characteristics. There are value sheets out there. If you're in the SSDC, you get free copies of VAMview. It tracks actual sales from eBay, Heritage, Teletrade, and private transactions. It gives you a better idea of the values, but things change all the time. You can also buy the new VAM Value Guide for $20. It's a collection of the realized prices averaged out and placed in a nice format. It's nowhere near as big as the VAM book, 'cuz like they're saying, the majority of VAMs don't carry a premium. n_sandler4, I have several attribution guides that I use. For the 1878-P 8TFs, I use the 8TF Attribution Wizard CD. It's great and easy to use. I'm heading to bed, but if you want to identify your coin tomorrow, we can walk through the steps via PM's or replies to this thread.
