A Couple Nice Toned VAMs

Here are two of the lots I picked up over at Heritage tonight. Beauties.

1886 VAM-1A Top-100 One helluva premium for a very attractive coin. But there were a few budders that went the distance up to a bid increment. This PCGS 66 will replace my NGC 65. Just an outstanding, gorgeous piece.

1885-CC VAM-4 Hot-50 Won't dethrone the PCGS 66 in the set but will stick around as a companion perhaps unless I find a nicely toned gem dmpl of the variety.

    Loved the MS66 obverse toning. The MS65 CC was not so nice. Wish I would have caught the MS66 one. Would have been great for my type set.
  • The 1886 looks quite attractive and is an interesting variety--. But, trying to find a nicer 1885CC in both Gem and in DMPL AND in the "money colors" of dark blue/green-- all I can say is it would be so rare it might not exist, given the pops!!--hope does spring eternal for us all though!!---Nice pickupsimage

    What makes the 1886 a Vam 1A? I have NO idea about these Vams. I have several higher graded NGC Binion Morgans and might get a pleasant suprise? Thansk! Ray
    You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!

    I saw both coins during my evening cherrypicks last night too. Unfortunately, I couldn't bid on either coin. The 1886 was already out of my price range due to the amazing color. I'm willing to bet it looks even nicer in hand. The 1885-CC was just plain out of my price range. image


    Congratulations, both coins are exquisite.
