Update - - 1889-O Morgans Oval O VAM 2

In a recent thread I posted pictures of two unattributed 1889-O Morgans, one in an ANACS MS61 holder, and one in an ANACS MS63 holder. I picked these up on ebay and Heritage for common money, but thought they might be rare Oval O VAMs. Some board members had doubts, and asked that I provide an update once PCGS graded/attributed them. Well, I just got the grades:
Coin#1 was in an ANACS 61 holder, so I cracked it out and submitted raw - - here is the result:
Cert Verification #: 10829192
Date, mintmark: 1889-O
Denomination: $1
Variety: VAM 2 Oval O
Pedigree:
Country: The United States of America
Grade: MS62
Coin #2 was in an ANACS 63 holder - - this one was submitted as a crossover (at any grade) - - here is the result:
Cert Verification #: 10934450
Date, mintmark: 1889-O
Denomination: $1
Variety: VAM 2 Oval O
Pedigree:
Country: The United States of America
Grade: MS63
I had been looking for UNC Oval O's for some time without success, and then found two in one week. Now PCGS has graded a total of 4 uncirculated specimens, including these two. The MS64 that Jack Lee cherrypicked is still the finest known

Congratulations!
If you're selling the extra, I'd be interested.
