I sat down last night to take some images of my latest purchases and look them up on VAMWorld. One had a little surprise.

I looked through the list of 1900 Morgans and found the diagnostics for VAM-30A matched my coin. I then scrolled down to look at the full plate coin.

Is this, or is this not, the same exact coin? The images on VAMWorld are on loan from Heritage, so I followed the link and found this.

I looked up the cert across the street. It is in-valid? What happened here?

The coin now resides in a PCGS holder.

    Does appear from photos to be the same coin.

    It's definitely the same coin. There are two small hits on the lower neck of Liberty, and a hit just above "We" on the reverse, all of which are visible in both photos. It was crossed over to PCGS at some point.

    That's one heck of a 65. Well done.

    Definitely the plate coin. Nice pickup!

    Is it possible someone turned in the old "across the street" label for a bounty?

    Yes, it appears to be the plate coin. Congrats on a nice pickup.
    BTW the lot# appears to be wrong.
