Does anyone know the population report for 1885 P VAM 1C?

I believe it's an R6.

Also, should I resubmit for a higher grade or try for a gold CAC?

 

First answer, no. Second answer, IMO, no.

 

A beautiful coin. I'd say that ms-64 is a reasonable grade on it although it might push as high as 65. The major marks in the reverse fields would put it solidly in the ms64 camp for me though.

The Whitman Morgan Redbook only mentions that there are "at least 89 obverse and 88 reverse dies" used. "None have dramatically different characteristics".

 

I think I see the pitting in the field under the arrows that defines this type, but that's kind of a lousy place to have scuffs on the slab.

 

Could be, but I wouldn't send it in until you satisfied yourself, as I can imagine I see i in your photo , but you can use a magnifier and see better. Compare with

Not sure if PCGS or NGC variety attribute this VAM. Anacs has 33 graded from 60-65
4 @ 64 one @ 65

 

Cascade, who used to post here a lot and was a VAM expert attributed it since he used to own it.

 

Yeah and it is a 1c

 

VAM 1C is a little scarce, but not rare. It's popular because of the pitted die and on the Hot 50 list. The R6 rating was an estimate of its rarity at the time it was discovered, and really shouldn't be interpreted to be anything else, including an indication of value.

 

Thanks GD for the sites. Sorry Blackberry Pie but I agree No and Not sure, good luck.
