Common Dates, Conditionally Rare VAMs
![Coxe](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/ffficon.jpg)
Here are a couple recent acquisitions. See if you can identify the VAMs.
The first is an 1883-O ANACS MS65DMPL (old slab, graded properly), the first DMPL I have found of this great VAM of the date. There are two pick-ups on the reverse. The more noticeable one doesn't show in my scan nor did it in the image I bought it from. However, a tiny tilt of the coin shows it very boldly and clearly.

The second is an 1898 PCGS MS64. The reverse is magnificently toned. I cannot capture it adequately with either the scanner or digicam. Hidden in the toning was a feature that makes it a desirable VAM. It was tough to pick it out of the image I bought it from. But I'll add a close up of the area. I had to pay a premium for the toning, but not even what I would consider more than a very modest preium for the quality of this PCGS toner.
