<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigTee44, post: 1931209, member: 41883&quot;]So I went to an antique show today and went through the coin area. While I was looking at a display a dealer asked if I wanted to buy this 1878 Morgan Dollar. He handed me the coin and said he picked it up yesterday for $70. He broke out the Cherry Pickers guide and had me look at the VAM in the book and see if it was the one he thought it was. I took out my glass and looked over the coin and sure enough, a VAM 44!</p><p><br /></p><p>The feathers were 7/5, the liberty was doubled and the cotton balls were doubled. The book states only 12 are known to exist. The last one according to the book sold as an AU50 for $10k. I would have to guess the one he had was a strong 63 or weak 64. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I offered him $100 and a laugh, he laughed back <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s amazing what comes into these shows![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
