Got some Xmas presents from PCGS today :)

It sure looks to be a match to the VAM11 plate coin.

Nice group of PCGS slabs Cascade. Without knowing what you paid for that collection, I say you scored big.

It averages out to me paying just under $40 per coin for a complete set missing only 5 or 6 coins ($2900 + 15% bp) which all of them came from except the 94. That came from a group of 12 morgans I paid $1100 for with the rest being commons save a couple list vams. The pics were bad but I like to gamble and it paid off huge. I was actually a touch nervous that I missed something because surely someone at the live auction saw this old hidden set coming to market but I guess there weren't many morgan guys in the live crowd and others weren't willing to bid so much on relatively crappy pics but I live for hidden scores and have a killer gut instinct, it's half the fun of this hobby!

 

Oh, and I used my voucher on grading them so that was free-ish but not really lol

 

OK, that was a huuuge score. You can't win if you don't play, right?

 

I would send out the 94o and the 93 to NGC and see what happens. I get a feeling that the 93 might just pass, and I think the 94o might grade AU 58 (hard to say without seeing the reverse), but it looks awfully nice. Those are both excellent dates, and I think there is at least a shot at a grade on the 93--there is a rim ding, but I have seen coins like that grade many times before.

 

Very nice coins!..

 

Update...

1891o is VAM-23
&
1901p is VAM-9
(The more I look at it the more I think this one needs a resub or gold bean because I don't see a reason why 58 is not possible and the price more than doubles in ngc 58 and almost triples in pcgs 58)
