I just received this coin which I bought on Yahoo, 1880-O VAM1A hangnail. What grade would you give if you were in the grading room. The rev image is a bit bigger to see the VAM better.

Looks like one to many hits so I would say MS63 , cool vam!

61. Lots of marks on the obverse. Reverse looks nicer. I don't see any wear. 80-O is tough above MS62.

Nice strike and luster. Marked up. 62 is my guess.

My guess would have been MS62 before reading the others who replied.

Very nice coin!! (especially for a New Orleans mint-mark)

Nice strike for an O-mint coin, MS63.

Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts on this new addition. The seller was advertising it as a BU, which to me should mean 63; I however am in the 62 camp also. I'll update this thread when I get her graded.
