[QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1644313, member: 29109"]Yes sir, that coin on eBay is the very same variety :) Although that seller is... well... "optimistic" in their asking price :rolleyes: The last VAM-2 in PCGS MS65 sold for $460.00, and that was in August of 2011. Since the market for VAMs (silver dollar die varieties, if you're unfamiliar) isn't as strong as it was a couple of years ago, your coin would probably bring $350-$400 at auction today. Some of the "Top 50" Peace VAMs (like yours) are still commanding strong numbers at auction, and depending on who's bidding, it could realize an even more than my estimate. It's extremely difficult to pin it with a dollar amount without more recent auction records to compare to, and from my digging around, I can't find any records of a VAM-2 in MS65 selling since the date mentioned above. Any way you look at it, you still scored big! Congrats on the cherrypick, man! I'm extremely jealous! :thumb: Just be sure to cut me in on the profit if you ever decide to flip it :p EDIT: Sorry, that example on eBay is a late die-state VAM-2, but still struck from the same dies your coin was... just after a die break occurred on the reverse.
