Got some grades from PCGS for a recent submission. All Morgan dollars. Two bodybags out of eight coins. Thought I had a 50/50 shot on the 1899-O micro 'o'. The 1878-P 8TF that received "altered surface" was a little surprising. Maybe it had a cleaning a while back and retoned. I posted images of it in this thread. Live and learn.

Nice varieties, and a great start for your VAM collection. Too bad about the problem coins, but they are still nice varieties. Good luck.
Ummm... yeah... it's a great start. It's actually more like the end. I'm in the process of selling off most of my collection. Somehow I've ended up with XXX VAMs over the last few years. Going to get back to the "one box" concept. I'll be happy with 10 or 20 coins (and so will my wife).
It will be nice with one box, yup, my wife would be estatic, but I'd have to get rid of about 24,000 pieces. LOL.
