Honestly, 1880-S is not a good place to start VAMming. There is no variation in the date position only doubling of the date and it is very common...
What is the seller's name?
Yep, 5D glasses...
I missed the radial die crack the first look which is why I said I had the later die state initially..Welcome to the exciting world of VAMming! :D
I knew you knew that...;)
Yeah, that one wasn't easy as far as the VAM. AGS graded it MS64 and it's a MDS VAM-28. Apparently the EDS is desirable and of course that's not...
When I finally bring myself to get over the cost of an MS example of '03-O this will be the VAM on my radar. Thank you..:)
Are there any other die pairings in the Morgan series where debris caused damage to both dies?
It would make a nice center piece in a shadow box. :)
Just pick what you want to pay and bid at the last second and most of all don't get carried away with the GSC followers.
Same thing only different.. You gotta love die study,,,;):)
I can't tell for sure but it appears to be a far date placement so compare to VAMs 23A and 33A, they are the closet to matching the neck clash...
Ed, put your secretary's tablet aside and look at this on your laptop...:wideyed::rolleyes:
Not SEGS. It's smaller than a bread box but too large to fit in a PCGS box, barely. I think the guess the TPG was a bit unfair as I've only seen...
So far the TPG guesses are good ones but not correct.
I went with 66. Beautiful example no matter what number PCGS gave it..
It's fine to reply to both forums. Actually I tossed in a few crops over there to aid in the VAM identification because the optimizer over there...
Up for your opinion is an 1882 Morgan Dollar that I've owned now for over a dozen years. Bonus points for guessing the VAM (it's a MDS example but...
I think using the '21 Morgan scale this one scored MS63 and the VAM, yeah you know I had it in like 2 seconds....;)
This one has just a slight rim tone that I really like. I took these photos yesterday for another reason but it will fit here as well.[ATTACH]...
