Latest ebay cherrypick. It pays to camp at the newly listed BINs 1879 CC VAM 3 Capped CC Top 100 Not the prettiest but it was cheap.
That it does, especially if you've got some knowledge to back up the quick trigger finger. Nice snag!
Yeah knowledge is key. And also having NGC verify, PCGS verify, and coinfacts up in seperate tabs on your computer while scrolling the ebay app on your phone helps too
The mint mark is the main point. Here this will explain: http://www.vamworld.com/1879-CC+VAM-3?responseToken=2070b0b5c6f895aa911a40537093b397
Not to mention VAMworld, PCGS Auction Prices, Variety Vista and....well, I have five tabs open just to make this post. This is one - of relatively few - which carry a value premium for any grade in which you can find one, even as common as they are.
Ummm... there's no premium for this variety. Like the 91-CC Spitting Eagle, it's one of the most common varieties for this date. If you want a tough 79-CC, look for the VAM 6.
No premium today...but if you pass this on who knows if it will still be considered a common variety at the time your children/grandchildren may have it. Let's face it if everyone sees these as a common variety the next time silver gets up around $40 or $50 per oz (we won't hold our collective breaths) many may find their way to the smelter...think positive...I'm positive I'd like to have the coin and I don't even collect Morgans...but it's different and neat and you have good reason to feel proud...Great find Evan!!!
