Grade this 1900 O/CC pawn find?

Hey everyone I picked this O/CC up at a pawn shop yesterday for $15. I had no idea if it was an O/CC or not but for $15 it was worth it. Turns out it's a Vam-10A unfortunately not the Vam-10 but nonetheless still cool. I feel like this should grade nicely. Sorry if my pictures are bad. The capsule makes it hard, the chest feathers are all there no wear, the light is right on em. Also, the capsule shows scratches but they aren't on the coin so it's hard. I want to say MS on this but I really don't know! The coin looks just like if not better than two MS 62 NGC Morgans I have.

MS 63 nice find great price two thumbs up on that pick

 

Great find and worth a lot more than $15.00! MS 63

 

Take it out of the holder & take a picture

 

I'm at a high AU or a low MS grade. Lots of marks.

 

AU58.

 

There's wear on the high points, but great luster, so AU58.

 

AU 58 . Sweet find!

 

I like your pawn shop better than my pawn shop...

 

I'll go AU-58. Great find and price.

I once got an AU 42/1 Mercury for sixty cents at a pawn shop; the best purchase I've ever made.

 

Awesome find and super price! My very 1st silver $ purchase for $29 was a 1900 O/CC VAM 8A MS 63, had no clue when I bought it and never heard of a VAM in my life. I bought it cause it was Purdy and shiny.....hooked on VAM's every since Again, congrats on a super find!

 

Oh, sorry, I'm with AU58 ish crowd

 

Post the results of the grade if you send it in

 

I think au 55 if it grades scratches on rev. Might be a problem

 

58 or 62/3 doesn't really matter. Either way you cut it you scored bigly! And welcome to VAMs. You just got hooked. It's time to join the message board at www.VamWorld.com

 

61 obv, 63 rev...net 62

 

I would say 55 on the grade. Too much wear on the breast feathers to be a higher grade, IMO. As for the price, it was a steal! Everything I've ever looked at pawn shops or antique malls has been wildly overpriced. And usually badly cleaned.

 

hey at 6:21 am that's about as good as it gets lol

 

I hate to put in a pin in this, and of course I could be wrong but the grainy surface combined with to the too good to be true price of $15 makes me wonder if it's counterfeit... Have we done any testing with a magnate?
