Do you have any pictures? Is the whole coin doubled or just certain areas? There are several 1889-P Morgan varieties with doubling. The most...
Yes. VAMs just identify the die pair used. All Morgan and Peace dollars are VAMs. With that said, I have no idea what it is!!! Is it doubled...
Try getting some pictures uploaded again. There are a few Morgan varieties that are on the Top 100 list. They bring a slight premium in higher...
I agree with Speedy. I'd hang on to them... maybe wait for your grandkids! Get a Red Book. If you don't want to buy one, check out the...
How about an "after" photo/scan? Sounds like I'm trying to learn some of the same things. I'd like to see what it looks like now. Also, if you...
I've been collected different types of cleaned coins, but it hasn't necessarily been on purpose. ;) Here's a photo of one of my wide reeded...
There were some proof dies used on the 21-P Morgans ("Zerbe" proof). You can find a list of die markers on this link. However, the flatness on...
Are there any distinct characteristics about the coin? There are a few 21-P VAMs that have a slight premium over the common value. Some have...
That's quite a collection! I don't have a picture that I can legally upload. There are close-up photos of the 95-S VAM 4 in the Red Book of...
If you've never used it before, do a search in the forum for "PVC" or "acetone". It can be dangerous... flammable, fumes. I always think the...
ozzysdad, I should mentioned one more thing. The 50th coin in the Top 50 Peace dollar list is a 1935-S VAM 4. This ALSO has the C reverse. I...
... and to answer your question about the most valuable... It seems like the ones with die breaks bring more money. Most of the Peace dollars...
If you want to check for the Top 50 and don't have the book, there is a list here. You can subscribe to the updated price list. Here is a...
Not sure that it will have an affect on the value. It's not one of the Top 50 Peace dollars. I was just trying to identify the particular...
The 35-S VAM 3 is sometimes seen with a filled mint mark. This VAM has the C reverse. I can't tell from your photo. I see the ray to the right...
There was a Spring 2005 Auction that ended 6/15. There may still be details here. Heritage just auctioned off a complete set of the Top 50...
I think the values are going to see many changes over the coming years.... which is why I'm reluctant to pay for an attributed VAM (unless I was...
I've been told by "holed" coin collectors that the value is never more than 1/3 the "unholed" value. I think the higher the value, the lower it...
I just found out that it isn't a die gouge in the second 5. It's the crossbar of a 4. I was told it's an 1855/1854 variety. Would have been...
... a few more pictures. There's a small die gouge across the second 5, and the first 5 is slightly doubled. I'm leaning toward it being a...
