<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrweaseluv, post: 1561901, member: 40340&quot;]Ok I am looking into letting go of my 1890-p vam 15a,&nbsp; but pricing has been a bit difficult, so I take the time to write out a request for opinion from HA.com. I give them all the specifics about the coin the VAM that it is and a full explination that it is presently being graded at ANACS because NGC and PCGS do not certify this vam. Now simply put with less then 15 minutes of research and reading on the web (actualy less as someone here was kind enough to give me a direct link to it) I learned that this was Key vam as there are only 28 presently graded/slabbed. </p><p>I can&#039;t believe the stupidity of the responce I recieved. You can all be sure I will be thinking twice about trusting any &quot;grading&quot; opinions this company has in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the text of my e-mail and the responce i recieved......</p><p>I sent via their forms....</p><p>[TABLE=&quot;class: ecxMsoNormalTable, width: 100%&quot;]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]</p><p style="text-align: right"><p style="text-align: right"><b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial">Brief Description:</font></span></b></p> </p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial">1890-p VAM-15A </font></span></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[TR]</p><p>[TD]</p><p style="text-align: right"><p style="text-align: right"><b><span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial">List of Items or highlights:</font></span></b></p> </p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[TD]<span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial">Sirs, as this coin has at present a total population of 28 and an R6 rating I am very lost on pricing it for possible sale/auction. It is presently at ANACS being graded but I am expecting a grade in the range of au58-ms62 (call it ms60 for now) There is no doubt of the VAM ID but due to rarity I have had major issues in determining even aprox value (forums have suggested $250.00-$250k so you might understand why I am a bit lost) Please, I am not asking for an appraisal just a very general idea of price range if i do elect to sell. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></p><p>[/TD]</p><p>[/TR]</p><p>[/TABLE]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the responce I recieved...</p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"><font face="Calibri">Thank you for your inquiry.&nbsp; I am not familiar with this VAM.&nbsp; I would suggest sending the coin to NGC or PCGS for grading and VAM attribution to make sure they deem which VAM it is.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"><font face="Calibri">Regards,</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"><font face="Calibri"></font></span><b><span style="color: #7f7f7f"><font face="Cambria">Mark R.
