The 80-O VAM 6A is about a $400 coin in MS63. A normal 80-O is around $325. Not a huge premium, but there is one. The bigger premium may come...
Pictures would help you get more solid advice, but if it looks like a high-end 65, I'd first try to sell it as is for 65 money minus grading...
The probability of any coin in any slab being undergraded (or, in more general terms, underpriced) decreases every time someone with "can I buy...
Mine is going to be attempted to be delivered tomorrow, but here's what I think you are seeing on the reverse. The luster is caused by flow lines...
