Some Top 100 VAMs from my latest ANACS submission.

This one is a common 8tf but I like how this coin looks. Looks better in hand than my photography shows.

    Very nice, especially that VAM-9. I recently got my first ANACS slab and it
    was surprisingly lightweight, but felt solid. How do you like them?

    Not crazy about the new holder. Too slick and easy to drop with the slanted edges. image

    Those oval O ones are tough to locate too. I would be disappointed that they didn't lock in the VAM on that one too though.

    I must admit that the new ANACS slab is growing on me.

    Nice coins too! Thanks for sharing...Mike

    Yeah, I was counting on the VAM # also. Here's another Oval O that was with this submission. Both are VAM-2's, I'm pretty sure.

    88-O Oval Os are quite difficult to nail down, since there are quite a few. As of the FUN show, I think there were 7 different ones, a couple being quite rare. Ash Harrison and I looked at some of his, and they were definitely uncataloged at the time, one of which we decided was an O/O. The big problem is that these coins are usually VF-EF, and some of the diagnostics are obscured by dirt.

    Bottom line is that if you paid extra for VAM attribution, you should have gotten it, but it might not have been correct.
