The 1935-S appears to be a VAM 3, with an extra ray under the "One" & also under the eagle: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Am Ibattributing this correctlybas the small o variety (interior lines not parallel)?
I picked this up in an inexpensive PCS Stamp & Coins holder. It caught my naked eye due to a visible chunk missing from the C in "America", which...
I mean, yes, that's definitely a better graded specimen than mine. I meant anyone with more than cursory Peace dollar grading experience can...
I bow to anyone's Peace Dollar grading as probably being better than mine. AU55? AU50? (I catalog with a numeric grade for my spreadsheet) Also,...
I have the best luck buying from people who don't know what they have. Mentioning to local Gold/Silver bullion dealers that you pay at least a 5%...
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...
Separate names with a comma.
