"worst" is 1884 CC VAM 4B"avg" is 1884 CC VAM 2"best" is 1884 CC VAM 6 my opinion, save some  money, send them for grading and attribution to ANACS. PCGS doesn't do 1884 CC VAM attributions. I think NGC will only do the VAM 2 but not the pther two. ANACS does the most and will grade them, they certify any verifiable VAM and in my opinion, graded fairly, while NGC then PCGS respectively, will grade them harsher in general because of their higher standards to meet. (personally I think people pay the more believing PCGS is possibly undergraded vs. NGC, and have the perception  than ANACS is overgraded because of it) anywho.... Of course ANACS resells the cheapest price of the 3 grading companies, but they will put the VAM on the slabs for a lot of VAMs the other companies won't do it for, if it's a verifiable VAM, they will put it on the slab label. Also I'd say they will likely come in MS63-MS64 wuith ANACS. I think the "Avg" coin is staining from storage before it was put into the holder for the worst of the detracting marks and may even clean up nicely as far as the streaking, but maybe not, hard to tell from the picture what that's about, but might have been some bag staining from moisture at the vault before it was holdered, like a dried coffee ring on a counter, maybe it blots off with some distilled water.[/QUOTE]
