New Grades/VAMs from Across the Street

Coxe

These were raw ones, mainly pulled from dealers' 2x2 boxes at Long Beach that I dropped at NGC's table before leaving the show. didn't have high expectations on grades and was not really disappointed. Some of them I was trying for lower grades actually.

1884-O VAM-10 MS62 (figured MS63)
1885-CC FA2 (expected PO1)
1885-CC FA2 (expected FA2)
1887 VAM-5 MS62 (expected MS63)
1887-O VAM-2 AU58 (expected AU58)
1887-O FA2 (expected PO1; they said it was too worn for VAM-3 designation)
1887-O VAM-5 AU58 (expected AU58)
1888-O VAM-4 G4 (expected G6)
1888-O VAM-17 G4 (expected G4)
1889-O VAM-6 AU55 (expected AU55)
1890-CC VAM-4 G6 (expected G6)
1891 FA2 (expected AG3; they said it was too worn for VAM-2 designation)
1891 VAM-2 AU55 (expected MS60; VAM-2B actually)
1891-S VAM-3 AU58 (expected MS63)
1892-O VAM-7 G6 (expected G4)
1892-O VAM-7 XF40 (expected XF40)
1892-O VAM-7 XF40 (expected XF40)
1922-D VAM-3 MS62 (expected MS62)

My disappointments were the one '85-CC not getting the PO1 grade it truly deserved, and them not designating the 87/6-O and 91 VAM-2 as such -- I went through the trouble to prove they were but they didn't bother working that hard. (It's not like a misdesignation would have been risky and costly anyway.)

I have some fun ones out to them right now, 6 raw and 9 slabs for designations, and a ton of stuff for PCGS.

Since I scanned these for another thread, I'll add them here too.

Three 1892-O doubled ears in nice grades. And an 1891-S doubled stars in high grade. Wow, that's terriffic.

I held back a baker's dozen of the 92-O doubled ears. They are XF/AU and figured better sent to PCGS. One I really like is the 89-O VAM-6. It is a Top-100 coin that, for some reason, I always forget about. I was going through some 2x2s and found it for a different reason and then noticed the date.

Looks like the 87-O was closest to PO1. The others still show LIBERTY.
