VAM-10?

Maybe just a later die stage?




The scratch is on the Chin just having a hard time photo'ing it.

It looks like the later die stage without the dash under the second 8.

Thank you, yes the later die stage.

 

Good pictures. I wish I knew about die stages.

 

Any opinions on the grade? Maybe a 64+
The coin certainly has the luster of a gem.

 

Luster does not make a 64, scratches, bag marks, and dings don't either. Nice coin but I would be reluctant simply by eye appeal. Good luck.

 

I am confused by you statement.
Bag marks and dings are a part of a grade depending on the severity and amount. Brilliance and quality of the luster definitely separates a 64 from a Gem. And also gem to premium gem.

 

Nice Clash.

 

...and die Break.

 

You are absolutely right @Picken and Grinin. My point is that each of us have our own excellence to eye appeal. Thank you for the input.

 

LOL!! I wish I could just identify the end result. Awesome pick! When did you snatch this one up? Love the Morgans and their varieties! Soon, soon, I'll be sending a batch to ANACS for grading and attribution, and what is already slabbed, to Messy Desk's company.

 

Gee, I was just told no bag marks or dings means a coin was wiped. This place is a barrel of laughs.

 

A little while back, It's my first GSA after all my years of collecting. The dealer gave me a deal, knocked about $50 off the normal price. So, I felt that I couldn't go wrong with the box and COA.

 

On both sides! And also the right wreath clash.

 

If you don't like the first grade, just keep sending it back for new submission. Eventually you'll get the right grade. And I love this coin. Jelly!

 

Nah, Maybe years from now when they are getting passed on. I don't play the grading game. Maybe if I was a dealer.

 

Good idea. Wait for the newer guys who might be lazier, more forgiving and more more DEI inclusive. At the rate we're going, looks MS70 to me.

 

Same Break. Continuous. Progressive. Late State.

 

1 Clash. Multiple locations.

 

I'll take your word for it. I'm just learning, but I can spot a VAM in a heartbeat, just can't name what the heck it is.
