smilin' like a goose

Got this PCGS AU53 just before the FUN show. Its formal name is VAM 7 Doubled Arrows, but many of us prefer "Smiling Goose." Scarce above XF and I have only seen one MS example ever.

When in doubt, don't.

    Oops on that... it's a 1901-P.

    Whoever came up with that lame moniker must be smokin' somethin' special. The tip of the olive branch looks more like a tropical lizard's head, or maybe even a serpent's head. image

    I agree, and I also see the Loch Ness Nellie.

    Agreed.



    But maybe name it after something bad-a$$, like the Black Mamba...

    Cool variety, generally overlooked.

    I cherried one of these way back when (1992 or so)

    that was close to unc, 55/58ish.

    Sold it raw in no time and probably left some $$$ on the table.

    Wasn't the first time for that, and won't be the last I'm sure.

    WTG Dennis. It's a fascinating world: VAMs. The search goes on and it's a joy reading of others' successes.
