PCGS-55s have been bringing $400+, so a 50 is worth something in the $250+ range... if you can get it into a PCGS-50 holder.
Good catch on the VAM 5 designation, by the way! VAM 5 is a tough variety in it's own right, and I believe should be worth more than just as an 1899 Micro-O.
AU common date Morgan? Aren't those things worth $14 each? I'll give you $30.
I don't have access to Mike Fey's price trends now, and I *think* those are trending up (not sure), but on Jeff Oxman's web site, he shows that he sold an 1899-O VAM 5 ANACS AU55 for $120. Jeff leaves the listings of coins he sold on there though, so that may be a few years old. I just sold a beat up VF with minor rim problems on ebay, and that went for $26, higher than I expected. There's an AU55 VAM 6 on ebay with a bid at $235, which is also higher than I expected, that's why I think these are trending up.
If you really want to know... Put it on ebay and let it fly!
I'd guess somewhere around the $180 mark, but that's just my WAG. Mike Fey has a quarterly newletter that would be better than my WAG. The quarterly newsletter costs $19.95 per year, here.
Without question, VAM 5 is the best and rarest of the 1899-0 micro o varieties. This example was dipped and a net grade from ANACS is a possibility. I was shocked afew weeks ago about the scarface fetching WELL over $2K in MS, so maybe $200-300 is what VAM 5 would bring today...
