I'm looking at a Bar Wing (19A) worth about $15 otherwise. Does the (common, I know) VAM carry any additional value in a circulated coin?
Here are the values from the Winter 2005 Top 100 Value Guide. They are based on actual sales. 1889-P 5A grade/vam value/common value F12 25 / 11 VF35 35 / 12 XF45 45 / 13 AU55 80 / 14 AU58 75 / 17
Hmmm. That is quite the jump, but MS specimens might remain within reach. I'll snag the one I'm watching if it stays cheap, but continue looking.
I should have given a complete list. MS61 100 / 24 MS62 135 / 25 MS63 150 / 35 MS64 190 /48 unknown (no transactions) in PL and DMPL
