The seller must be pleased with the final price that it sold for.

Mint state examples are legitimately rare, and judging by the images in the listing, it's a 1B5 which is one of the rarest die stages of the 7 known.

yup, and I would love to deal with this buyer in the future

The winner will probably like it next to his 1B6 in PCGS 65 too. Congrats to whomever that might be.

Wow. I didn't see that one. Very cool. I think prices would be even higher if PCGS were to designate the stages.

Go VAMs!

i was high bidder on that one for a while. It was a 1B6 in an NGC 65 holder @ Heritage. I was about to comment on it.

Better check yourself on that. 1B6 doesn't have the prominent die gouge at the back of Liberty's cap, whereas 1B5 does. >>



No, but it is still top pop for now FWIW and in a PCGS 65 holder now.

All it takes is one Itchy for each deranged Scratchy collector to beat each other silly to get a VAM. No, quality coins are still very much in style. Among the Hit List 40, the thornheads are very likely to become popular outside hardcore VAM circles, like scarfaces and hotlips.
