What is the going rate for ThornHead Morgans??

19Lyds

My brother in law has quite a few Morgans which I was able to view last week and in that lot I found a couple of low AU Thornhead's.

How much over melt could these bring?

He also had a circulated 1896 Micro O and a copuple of other VAM's which have slipped my mind.

It varies greatly between the die states... with the recent addition of VAM-1B3A there are 9 states of Thorn Heads now.

A VAM-1B6 doesnt command that much of a premium unless it is a very high end example.

A VAM-1B7 on the other hand even in a very low grade would bring strong money IMO.

1B1 is another pretty desirable one. In low AU it has been known to bring the low $200 range.

If possible could you post a few photos?

Well, pictures are out of the question since I did not take any and its about a 16 hour drive. I was under the impression that a thornhead was a thornhead and had no idea that there were different levels.

Thanks for the reply.
