<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 24662389, member: 40340"]I got a coin with a good story... back around 2012 I had taken a trip to one of my local coin shops (now gone) and they were closed due to "flu" well I was walking back to my car and this guy comes up about my age with a handful of so-so morgans. Well I told him the shop was closed and he starts cussing and saying he hates to sell those off to the local pawnshop but he needed gas to make it to payday... so he offered me a choice of any of the morgans for a 20... most were fairly worn common date stackers (melt value coins) but I grabbed a fairly nice 1890 and even gave him an extra 10 for it (so 30 bucks) so here I had this fairly nice morgan and took it home... the very next day I read an article about several new VAMs recently discovered... On comparison... Mine was one of them... so off to ANACS she went (the only tpg attributing the new VAM at that time) and low and behold I have one of 23 1890p VAM15a's but the gets better... shortly after that another new VAM for the 90p the 15b (both variants of vam 15 as die cracks expanded) Well I checked again and sure enough... Mine fits the later stage 15b though I have yet to resubmit it to get it changed... Last nifty fact... It was the very 1st coin I ever sent off to be entombed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Not shabby for 30 bucks lol</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1572249[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1572250[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
