You should have paid for the VAM attribution. It looks like it might be a VAM-3 or VAM-3A Top 100. Chris
Seems very fair. That seated 25c coulda/shoulda been a VF30 with all those marks on the obverse. Nice group, tho. You happy with the results?
Between the heavy marks and the cleaning, it will probably sell for a 30 price, or lower. However, the level of wear puts it in the 40 range.
The 1899 was a 64RB in mid tier grading company. So took a chance. Only paid 64rb price. Then cracked n sent to pcgs. The old Was probably 10+ years old
Nice job on the IHC!! I've heard that PCGS had gotten a lot tighter on grades lately. Nice group you have there.
"Strong" means it's a late die state of either vam 3, 4 or 5. Much more common than their early die state "weak" counterparts. This appears to be an LDS of vam 4 http://www.vamworld.com/1882+O+Over+S
