    Here is a neat VAM which I ID'd today. An 1883-O, VAM-24 in AU58ish condition. Doubling on the reverse with emphasis on the bow-wreath.

    Thanks for looking

    Bonedigger,

    You've given this coin an AU58ish. It's a beautiful coin and certainly has a lot of scratches, but I see no wear. I 'm not tring to start an argument, I'm trying to understand something. Could this coin, lets say with "no" wear be concidered AU and not BU just because of the excessive scratches?

    Thanks in advance for the education and certainly Happy New Year!!

    It might be BU/MS, but the breast feathers look a little smooth to me and don't show the frost I've seen on other MS coins. If it's MS, then how about MS-61/62?

    Thanks for looking

    Sure it is baggy, but I'd give it an unc.

    Looks like a solid 63 to me Bone :thumb:

    Well Guys, if ya'll think so, I'll mark the flip as such. Apopreciate everyone's opinions. :D

    Happy New Year

    It's probably just a weak strike, IMO.

    IMO it has way to many scratches to get MS63, I'd give it a 60.

    thanks for posting. i can't tell from the breast that there is wear...is all the rim luster intact?...could go 60/61 due to being baggy but can't discern luster breaks from photo....
