I hit the jackpot on VAMs!

I went to McBride's here in Austin Wednesday and yesterday. They have 5 big boxes of Morgans in 2X2's (at least 100 coins/box), and I went through them over the two days. Here's what I found:

1886 VAM-1G
1889 VAM-7A
1884-O VAM-32A
1884-O VAM-23A
1881-S VAM-8
1883-O VAM-1D
1884-O VAM-7A
1921-D VAM-10A

All of these coins were nice- with the exception of a couple of 58's they are in the 63-64 range. I will say this was great fun, and hats off to VAMWorld- I couldn't have attributed these without that great site. A question for the VAM experts- are any of these particularly rare or desirable? Some of them were R5-R6 on VAMWorld, but there was no other data...

Nice group. That '21-D 10A is one that many people don't know to look for because it was discovered after Rob published his book. I hoarded the '83-O 1D and seemed to get MS62 almost all the time until I found an MS65DMPL. It's another one that should be followed more and is not at all common.

The whole lot is at ANACS now...I'll post the results when I get them back!

That reminds me. I have 100+ to send them. I had them at Long Beach but didn't have time to fill out the submission forms. Need to send a box out to Leroy too. Never know if I might get a last minue shot at vam of the year. Anyone know of any spectaculr ones that are potentials so far?
