    Depends! I just sold one in 63 for cheap. Prooflike, 65 and beyond is where they get costly...imageimage
    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    Keets:

    VAM 11 is what PCGS calls the 1880/9-S, so it's part of the "With Varieties" Registry set.

    It's not real common to begin with, and the premium values over the regular 1880-S are pretty modest at MS63 and below. At MS64 they are about double. At MS65 and 66 it's pushing triple. PLs are pretty scarce; DMPLs are very scarce.

    If you're a Morgan fan, it's a decent VAM to have.
    When in doubt, don't.
