Message:: [QUOTE="Aslpride, post: 1443717, member: 36954"]clorox: It was pure luck to find it. Based on reference from  ikegroup.info, the total minted from 1972 as type 2 were about 200,000  coins out of almost 76 millions minted coins. That's .2 percent of whole  population or go through 380 coins to find one 1972 Type 2. (Ratio 380  to 1, possible to find three or four out of one $1,000 mint bag) That  consider as scarce. However, as of now, not many people understand the  scarce of 1972 type 2. You can grab raw 1972 type 2 coin from eBay for  cheap. You can cheat a little. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> collect89: Yes, die chip in "G"  picture is same as 1890 Morgan. Cool find on long nook. I have one 1878  7t, but not long nook as yours. I  know NGC doesn't stated all VAMs on coins as ANACS does. That's why I  send my Morgans coins to them. However, I do have one that will  recognize by either PCGS or NGC. It's 1922 Peace VAM 6. I haven't decide  whether to send NGC or ANACS. Doug: I went back to ANA grading book and you are correct. Thank you for point it out.[/QUOTE]
