What Brad said was in my head.
Who actively catalogs their morgans by VAMs? Anyone I should tag in for a second opinion?
Ms63+ Nice color.
Is the 1900 S a VAM10A? http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1900-S_VAM-10A [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The 1889 (p) was one of the biggest mintages in the series (only 1921 saw more production) so there are a correspondingly large number of VAMs....
I wonder if David Drake has heard this story? Would make an excellent historical grounding for one of his cyclical history recasting novels in the...
Remind me a bit of opium dollars. Perhaps made for places where a knife wasn't allowed or was discouraged?
Whoa... the 1886-O... is this a VAM-1A1? Not as clear in VF as it would be in higher grade, but still neat:...
Is the 1885-o a VAM-7? http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1885-O_VAM-7 [ATTACH]
Great color. The notch on the neck and swipe on the cheek put it in the ms62+ to ms64 range for me. The reverse looks a little flat on the eagle's...
Going step by step through the VAM catalog. The 1883-O appears to be one of the o/o varieties that year. Am I id-ing this correctly as a...
What price would you have paid for this group? I mean, they aren't silver rounds, even though well circulated common-date Morgans often trade that...
Here's the 85-o by itself. What grade would you assign it? Bearing in mind that the obverse of New Orleans morgans tend to be very weakly struck....
Actually, all for a bit under $400. And the 27-S is only a $400 coin a significant step or three above mine. Book value (& auction record) in AU58...
Ms65 PL
Am I over or under grading these? I feel reasonably confident on the Morgans, but I'm weaker on grading Peace dollars
Reverse is definitely in that range, but the obverse brought down the net grade: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't have my Cherrypickers Guide or VAM book handy. Are there any significant varieties to check for on any of those dates?
I picked up a few silver dollars from a large group at a "We Buy Gold" shop today. Got all these for under $400 (or, roughly the book value on the...
Nope, I meant what I wrote. In the long run, I don't see these being worth what some are paying for them. Novelty fades.
Separate names with a comma.
