Post Your Morgan Dollars

According to VAMworld it is. http://www.vamworld.com/1880-S+VAM-109.

It does seem to have all the markers for the VAM-109. (not that it adds any value)

One I just sold

 

My first post to this thread. This 1882-CC is ungraded, and I don't know anything about VAMs!

 

How do you get the pic to alternate like that?

 

I provided a brief explanation in this post: Grading the Buffalo Nickel. I would repeat it here, but that post is in context in a thread that shows more of the pictures.

 

Here is another example. The tricky part is taking the two front images and getting them rotated to the same angle. They obviously need to be cropped to the same dimensions so they overlay exactly. I do the same with two reverse images.

Then I join together the obverse and reverse into a single 800x1600 pixel image, and do the same with the second pair of photos. I save these as .gif files. Then the two .gif files can be joined as frames in an animation.

This uses the same approach as a cartoon or flip book. Take two similar still images and just flip between them.

 

I made this and put it in a Magic frame. I wanted something to give out at a re-union, but I chose a different design and I'm using 2017 Kennedy half dollars (much cheaper) LOL So I'll keep this one for myself

 

Now I'm confused !

 

Here is my Morgan. Anyone care to guess what grade it might receive? Thanks~

 

ms63

 

I would say AU53-55

 

Just got this one in hand today. I've never seen a 63 with so much luster. Was very pleasantly surprised. Tried to capture a little of the shine with the images here but it's one to be seen in hand for sure.

 

Nice coin !!!

 

Nice toning on this "CC".

 

Another one with a sticker.

 

You like stickers do ya? How about some bona fide slot/poker table beauties...
