VAM grades just received . . . .

Yale68

Got the following VAM grades today; all were submitted in unattributed PCGS holders, so the grades were not really in doubt, just the VAM numbers; the coins on lines 1-4 are all the highest graded by PCGS, and the coin on line 4 is the lone UNC VAM 220 (so far).


1 05468818 1878 8TF $1 VAM 1 USA MS63PL
2 21769222 1878 8TF $1 VAM 22 USA MS64

Not trying to rain on your parade, but I have a 8TF VAM 1 PCGS-64 PL.

Yale68

I'm only going by the current pop stats; not surprised by your 64PL

coindeuce, Not the time nor the post to boast....

Excellent coins! Congrats.

You can call it whatever you like. I call it a statement of fact. I don't need to put my set in the PCGS registry either. What is that if not the need to boast?

Peaceman

I do it to educate..... that's why I have the links to my pictures... to help people attribuite what they may have or get them interested in collecting them...

Boasting is fine... put up your own post with a pic.(we all do it). Dont use someone elses post to boast what you have. They've worked hard to get to this point let them enjoy it. The last thing they want to hear is a "haha" from you. You're out of line... Take it somewhere else...

BlindedByEgo

OK, folks... move along. Nothing to see here...

Congrats on the VAMs, Yale!

Very nice group. I have a good 18 or 20 cherried slabs to go out to the variety service. A few good 1878 ones among them: a VAM-2A in high grade (forget if it was gem or what) a VAM-21 in 64PL and a VAM-22A in 64. Does your VAM-22 have the clashing? I was hoping they would start attributing at least the clashed 8TF or list coins by now. It's not like that would be all that difficult to do.

I am a point above your 86-S/S (65PL). I think that might be the date where there was a Jack Lee of the variety in 66PL, but I may be wrong there. Nonetheless, did you see the value of the 64PL on Fey's current Top-100 sheet? I almost plotzed when I saw that.

DennisH

Neat coins Joe! Where did you manage to find that 220?

Wolf359

Quite a nice group. The 1887-S VAM-4 is very tough in 64!

I assume the VAM-220 was that Heritage ICG coin I lost on. Congradulations.

Yale68

Thanks!
Yes, the VAM 220 was the unattributed ICG Heritage coin.
No, I didn't see the 86-S VAM 2 MS64PL price listed --what was it? (My guess is $1500)

$3,220. I communicated with Michael Fey the day it came in the mail. It is based on a real trade. Unless that coin was clearly undergraded or full DMPL, it made me really wonder what my PCGS 65PL S/S might bring.

Coxe, if a 64 pl is worth 9775. if I was you I would be wondering what it was worth also

DennisH thank you for the pricing! Guess as usual I overpaid for mine a few years ago at 2895. (Pcgs 65) but it looks like I might be drawing even
