Found an 1878-CC VAM-2

Picked up an 1878-CC VAM-2. Bought it because I only own two other very circulated CC's and this was cheap. Noticed the chip on the nose after I got it home.
Think it's VG or F?

  • Sweet. I love that circ look, especially on a CC. Nice and worn but still enough detail to be very visually pleasing. I'd give it a Fine

  • Great looking coin. Love the detail and the wear mix on this piece. Nice job scoring the VAM too.image

    I think you're being too harsh. I'd say it would go VF20.

    Good find!

    Looks VF25/30 to me... lots of interior wing feather detail.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.

    Your 78 CC looks VF to me and a nice original circulated Morgan $. I don't do the VAM thing so I can't comment about that. Here's a 78 CC with a little more wear. I like your photos. image
