Hi y’all,

This and a few other coins just came back from VSS thanks to @messydesk, I have been building a VAM set and been sticking primarily to AU and above, and I would like to get some input on which grade this one would be.

If it’s hard to tell from these photos I’ll upload more closer ones if it helps.

Thanks!

Looks like it might go 55.

I see it as 55, maybe a 58.

Based on the new photos I think 62

Lotsa marks - 62

62 probably but that is a lot of what appears to be mishandling/circulation chatter, so possibly 58.

i've been CLOBBERED on vams i thought were low unc, only for the 58 monster to come up and get me MANY times.

although, SOME vams, even at 58 are monsters themselves!

gratz on your DC. i see from the page 17 is one of the more recent ones. nicely done. it seems kinda minor but that is a very nice spread for an rpd morgan.

i look VERY forward to a team working on discoveries now, for several reasons one of NOT the least is, more discovery pup images to prevent multi-listings down the road and easier organization/classification.

you are probably one of only about half a dozen people (or less) to have made and shared a DC vam/peace on these boards that i've noticed.

edited to add: so others can see part of what the fuss is about with this particular DC.

A VAM set, as in all of the VAM's. If so, that is a big one.

Here is one coming up at HA (post FUN auction). Supposed to be a good one (I don't know VAM's well) but major pricey. One of the tougher Morgan Unc's I believe of the major VAM's.

i'd even call it a rarity amongst rarities because it is a coin with an already substantial premium and the variety adds a respectable amount on top of it.

i haven't checked the pops in a while but i gotta believe there are probably less than 10 in unc. i figure the number has gone up also because of gradeflation more astute grading standards.

Ms62. The hair over the ear is a little soft but don't see rub that jumps out at me. Lots of chatter mainly on the devices but the fields look fairly decent for a low grade Unc.
