This is my first submission for VAM designation to PCGS. I bought the 1878 series coins raw in a Capital holder. The 1886 was in an OGH. Here is the results with photos with my new camera / lighting settings. What are your thoughts?

2. 1878 7/8TF Strong VAM 36 7/4 PCGS MS62 POP 4/1

3. 1878 8TF VAM 17 Diagonal in 8 PCGS MS61 POP 1/17

Waiting for my 11/22 submission to post. Expected it today but should come soon, sometime this week. Got an NGC box back in the mail today though.

Say, check the cert lookup at PCGS.com. A bunch of mine don't come up with the variety. Makes them ineligible for the NGC (collectors-society.com) registry. A few I won at TT don't reflect the VAM in the database despite being recently retagged as such.

Those are some excellent pics. I only hope to half way compare to your photography someday. Im new to the dig cam as of today and I only have 3 morgans. Maybe I will try to photo one now.
