How'd I do? I put a pile together and made an offer. Mia culpa though, I'm not the average customer. He was bare bones, silver going so fast he can't keep up meaning I only had junk to look at really and barely any at that but I think I put together a nice little $30 pile. Oh and the morgan is a top-100 vam! @SuperDave,, I vammed her this am and she's a 29a I believe. The beveled areas above ST & OF are what did it. The other pups are gone or obscured from wear or grime. Thoughts on if the seated will grade p01? And who can pass up such a cool walker. Must be acid right but damned if it isn't the most awesome piece of pmd, aside the market acceptable stuff like high end counterstamps etc, that I've ever come across. Oh and the cutout walker was a must too About the lincoln, I'm thinking it's a $10-20 piece? Haven't had much experience with old off centers like that. It's more of a strong mad though and my estimate is from a similar ebay sold coin. Then I threw in a few tokens and cutouts plus the bezel lincoln from his token bin... If I'm looking at the freaking token bin that should tell you how low on inventory he was. Silver's on fire! At least at his place. Oh... and to top it all off I paid with 2 twenties and got 10 ikes back as change!.. Who says a fun lcs trip has to be expensive
Awesome! I'm not really into 1921 VAMs but they look fun to collect, considering how many were made. The 1921 Morgan can be classified as a coin series that happened all in one year.
Sounds like a good day to me! A nice assortment overall. At most stores the Morgan and Seated Half would cost you more than 30.
Nice score, I had an 1854 seated quarter that might have been a p-01 today.... I Should have asked the super man about that one ... Doh!
I'm not sure about the "Golden Flood" medallion/coin - And don't search it on Google - I guess it has a whole other meaning!
I'm sure it involved showers. That's funny! If anyone else looks stuff up check back. I haven't had time yet
And I was worried that pups and markers would be too far gone to attribute. Also decided to start from last to first. That was a good move!
That's part of the "quick glance" targets I always hit when going through 1921's on Ebay. Cracks around the date and obverse rim - not forgetting the die gouge at B-U characteristic of 1921-S VAM-6 (especially if advertised as no mint mark ), around the reverse rim for cracks/pitting/beveling and the ST gouges of the Infrequent Reeding coins. Then I worry about a grade.
Nothing wrong with that pile for $30. The Seated half has too much detail for PO1. Probably would grade FR-AG, but the hack across the reverse shield might prevent it from grading at all. Can you show the reverse of the cent? As shown, it's not quite off-center, but would be called an uncentered broadstrike if the reverse is similarly uncentered. If the reverse is centered, then it's a misaligned die strike.
