1888 O. newb help

Bobk

Hi guys. I have a 1888 O Morgan. I was told, and I confirmed it, that it is a vam 9. Doubled arrows.

1. Is this vam # rare?

2. How much of a premium is applied?

Many thanks. Bob

It's a Top 100 coin. I have one too, MS63 (raw). It's interesting, but not very popular at least on eBay. I've seen them and they don't sell all that well.

I don't have the Top 100 price sheet with me, but I think there's a small premium (50% or so) on the coin. Compare that to the VAM-44 "The King" which sells for about 50 times common.

Here's a link to the Top 100:
