The premium isn't super high on those right now unless you are at the top of the pops, but there is one. $240 for an AU58 is a really good deal.
With the exception that Snow does not attempt to catalog every die, only those with interesting-enough varieties.
Nice pick-up.
To answer a few questions at once, all Morgans will have a VAM number, although some will have the number that means "normal dies." The coin...
You didn't say where in the date. [IMG]
I wouldn't go as far as saying repurposed as I would say they continued to be used. I imagine the same happened with business strike coins,...
Welcome back. I hope all goes well for you and your wife.
O/CC is only for 1900, but we don't yet know exactly when in 1900. There hasn't been any internal Mint documentation found that specifically...
The 5th edition of that book sort of fixes the pictures. It still has the date position switched around for VAMs 4 and 6, though.
The mint mark on your coin has been mangled by a hit from another coin or something else. What book are you showing the pictures of the mint marks...
No. Micro O is much smaller and almost never uncirculated.
Remember the 2019-S Deluxe Enhanced Reverse Inverse Executive President's Circle Club Level Proof ASEs with numbered COA last year? Just a matter...
That looks right. PCGS has a special registry set for the 50th anniversary coins with 7 spots in it. Not sure why they didn't include the 4...
There was a special 50th anniversary issue of the 2014 clad halves that was a special strike, and is graded SP rather than MS by the grading services.
Your conclusion is sound. It is a very active field of exonumia, nothing more.
Negative eye appeal to me is something that makes you say, "yuck," and this one fits the bill. Naturally, this is in the eye of the beholder, but...
And I'll add a sticker to a TPG slab attributing it. Looks like VAM 54, actually, but still not something PCGS would put on their label. Edit:...
I don't see anything wrong with the mint mark from these photos. There are a few 1902-O VAMs that are worth something, but they all have fairly...
Exceedingly cool, assuming it's authentic! No idea how many items like this exist. I would have liked to have seen Hal's plea that led to the...
Probably the cheapest option for you would be to contact ICG and tell them the coin is misattributed, and see if they'd just fix the label for the...
Separate names with a comma.
