Nope. It's much better. Probably my best cherrypick this year.
Some of you know that I collect varieties. What do you think about this 1878-S? [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks for the comments on the pictures. I just hold a compact digital camera (4 megapixels) up to the lens of a microscope, no flash, lamp near...
Picked these up a few days ago... 1878-P 7/8 VAM 33 1878-P 7/8 VAM 42A 1921-D VAM 1W 1921-D VAM 12A [IMG] 1878-P 33 obverse 1878-P 33...
I've seen that 'S' on several 1921 Morgans. It must have been a characteristic of the die. However, I think many of the wide reed (infrequently...
Went into a gun shop yesterday and noticed they had two cases of coins. Picked up a few Morgan dollars including this 1904-O VAM 28A. It shows a...
There is a raised area under the 'O' mint mark. Not sure if it's a mis-placed 'O' from an earlier punch, or something clashed from the obverse...
Here's the photo from the LA Times. The 1865 quarter/dollar is in the image. The entire article is here. [IMG]
I recently read a note on another forum about this VAM. The poster mentioned the "beauty mark" 79-S variety as one to be on the lookout for. Not...
Very nice! I'd guess MS62/63. It looks like a late die state of the VAM 2C. Here are some recent sales figures.... PCGS MS61 $246 Jan 2006...
Hey bzcollektor! Oh yeah, the 1879-S VAM 48A. I think you still have the highest grade.
Here is some sale history for slabbed 1897-P VAM 6A's.... PCGS MS64 $158 4/2006 PCGS MS64 $97 2/2006 ANACS MS63 $60 3/2006 PCGS MS62 $88...
Looks like a 6A to me. PCGS only does a limited number of VAMs. The 1897-P 6A is on their list because it's a Top 100 coin. Complete list...
Thanks Mark! Excellent information!
Picked these up at a flea market. I believe they're Civil War or Hard Times tokens. Trying to get more info. Any experts on this stuff?...
The 1880-O Morgans used two different 'o' mint marks. The micro 'o' and the tall oval medium 'o' are both common. From what I have seen, most of...
I was just looking at the Morgan VAM book. It shows images of the 3's used on Morgan dollars. The one used on the 1893 is completely different...
That 3 looks a little strange. Almost looks like an 1898 that was re-worked. Could be my old eyes. Do you have a close-up of the date?
Becky rules! AU50 VAM 3's have been selling between $20-$50. Not sure about a VF.
Got any pictures? Be sure to check for the small S variety. The 1903-S VAM 2 has a large premium over a regular 1903-S.
