Take some better photos when you get it. I would say that the 140 was worth it.

 

I like the price and it is really pretty.

But O/S?

I've never heard of that in a 81. I know there are O/Os for that year. I wonder if it is a VAM5 and the seller thinks that is a S instead of an O.

(edit... shoot.... I see you put VAM5 in the OP. Nice call)

It looks like the seller put that sticker on many years ago when Breen called it an O/S. I know PCGS labels them "So called O/S".

 

Here's a PCGS 65

 

Cool. I think it was a great buy.

 

I bit larger. You can kind of see something going on with the MM.

 

Yes, I think so. Handsome coin.

 

You did just fine.

 

Slightly under the average. Good score.
