VAM folks -- does anyone have an ANACS pop report?

DennisH

I'm trying to do some research on the 1886 Morgan $1 VAM 20.

Not many of them exist, and I'd like to know how many ANACS has graded and what the breakdown is for each grade. (The only ANACS pop report I have is from 1998, so anything newer than that will be a step up from my perspective!)

Thanks in advance!

My latest ANACS pop report is March, 2002 -- half way from yours to the present. The varietywas discovered in 1998 BTW. Anyway, it has no MS and no circ of the 1886 VAM-20.

I sent NGC an NGC MS67 of the date with the doubling in the 6 but not under the 1. I figured it was a polishing of the die that raised the field to obscure it. Nonetheless, they wouldn't confirm it as VAM-20. So it won't get into my registry set. Whoopdeedoo. When I auction my Morgans off later, the collectors can judge it for themselves.

I have a Oct 2004 ANACS pop report which shows a total of 3 graded, a single MS61 and a pair of MS63's.

Thank you guys!

I was able to locate someone with a 2006 report, and that is still the total number of coins ANACS has graded.

How many folks have seen one of those three?

I've seen one of the ANACS-63 coins... looked like a 63, too!

It's really an impressive VAM!

Did the reverse markers match in the ribbon bow? I'd consider sending it to Leroy if so for confirmation. If Leroy agrees, somebody might
slab it...
