Morgan VAM attributions in . . .

Yale68 · January 31, 2008 4:38AM

These 10 coins were all originally in unattributed PCGS holders, sent in for VAM attributions (so grading was not an issue). Most were found on ebay that way, although a few were found raw.

A pair of VAM-29A's in XF45? Very impressive and near top pop. I've only seen one in AU in 5 years.

I've never seen one in AU, but both of these 45's look borderline AU50. I'll probably pick one to send in for a regrade someday.
