Unfortunately, (but not for me) this one is EDS but I would have to say that this will make 63 (and is off to PCGS tomorrow).

John:

Guess who the underbidder was on the 1901 VAM 7 PCGS-45? (Truth be told, I had three people in mind when I saw I didn't win, and you were one of them.)

Coxe

sorry....

DennisH

My one Morgan purchase today at the Long Beach show was a nice white and decently struck 1889-0 in a PCGS MS64 holder... which I was attracted to because of this:





As soon as it is attributed it will be pop. 7/0 at PCGS

dwssws

from the Old bridge show today picked up a 1878 8tf vam 8 ( raw au 58) and a 1904 vam4b in Ngc 65 on the drive home got a 1878 8tf vam 16 (pcgs 63) for my 8tf collection

Coxe

Was that a 1904-O 4B in NGC 65? Good grade for that if so.

dwssws

sorry forgot the "O" yes it WAS a 1904 O vam 4b in ngc 65

Not latest finds exactly. These were coins I have had for a while, at least one for about 15 years. Sent them to Leroy and got them back attributed, though I missed getting new discoveries on them.

1879 VAM-20A PCGS MS64
1880 VAM-35 PCGS MS64
1880-O VAM-52 PCGS MS60DMPL
1880-O VAM-53B PCGS MS63
1882-O VAM-20 PCGS MS64PL
1891-O VAM-16 NGC MS64DMPL
1921 VAM-3DJ raw
1921-D VAM-1AY PCGS MS64PL
1921-S VAM-1AR PCGS MS64
1922 VAM-2AB raw

These go on the long list of interesting varieties I set aside as possible new discoveries. Still have probably a couple hundred to see if they were already claimed or will send in. I thought the 53B was a 55. Could have sworn there was a checkmark.

Arrived today from HNAI. The 1880-O is a VAM-65A, not VAM-24A.

Buddyboy

The 1878 VAM-14.15 I cherried back on February 3 is on the way back from ANACS. They gave me VF-30 Details. This coin cost me, initially, $31.00.

WooHoo, been loking for one of these for a while. 00-O VAM 29A in strong XF. Paid close to melt

Coxe

Very nice, James!

eyoung429

Was this the one you posted last week? Nice find!!!!

This one just arrived today, I have not posted about it yet. I bought a few to get this one, still looking at the rest. Found a cleaned 91-O clashed E, nothing else to note so far.

DennisH

Just picked this up from PCGS today. VAM 4 Micro-O. Crossed from an NGC-64 on the first try.

hiyosilver

Congrats to all the VAM hunters on the finds.

Nice one Dennis!!

I found a 1900-P in a 19$ junk box (raw), the coin has die gouges in the Obv. field, right at the jawline & neck...so far not a known VAM.

Not sure what you paid, but I am in aww, there has to be a couple "you sucks" in that bunch. 88-O in my favorite vam year/mint. I have 14 1B1, 4 1B2 and 1-1B3. Not to mention 5 - 7A's. I am having real trouble cherry picking a 1A, can't figure out why.

DennisH

"Not to mention 5 - 7A's"


Now that's just not fair (he said with envy, jealousy, and admiration).

Found a nice UNC 26-S peace vam 2C that I will be going back to the B&M for, noticed the die crack and when I looked at it I thought it was cleaned. looked it up when I got home and noticed it was polishing lines.

Coxe

Picked up 4 nice problem-free raw coins. Nothing particularly spectacular but any '78-S new discovery is cause for celebration anymore.

1878-S MS63 (new find -- known rev with new obverse die)
1878-S VAM-28 MS64
1880-CC VAM-10 MS62DMPL
1901 VAM-5 VF30

Coxe

....and from TT --> 1897 VAM-3A PCGS MS64PL

It's an R-5 VAM which I have hoarded in the past, keeping the best few (high grade and toners). This is the first I have located that is prooflike and I have seen a lot of the date and the variety.

DorkGirl

Well, I did find it on the BS&T forum.......
