Variety Fee on 1891-CC $ Spitting Eagle?

Thought this would have been a well known and accepted variety and would not merit the $18 fee.

Anyone else have experience with this variety?

    Rule I heard is if it's listed in the "Read Book" then no fee. But I have never had one myself.

    Lance where are you looking for these numbers? I have more varieties to get holdered, just not fan of paying a fee for ones that I belived were fairly well known.

    The rule of thumb for U.S. coins is.......if the variety is listed in the pop report ....no fee. I you have to press the + box to get extra varieties...these require fee.

    The spitting eagle is more common than the non spitter....

    At least one major grading service (second tier) does not charge for plenty of the varieties such as yours that are not in the Redbook. The fee you paid gets your coin into a PCGS slab that brings more money! Only you can decide if it is worth it.

    Well, this was a cherry pick of a purchase to flip so PCGS was the preferred brand of kool aid.

    I wouldn't exactly call a 91-CC VAM 3 spitting eagle a cherrypick just for the variety. It seems not only to be the most common of all 91-CC varieties, but also more common that all others combined. Do check the date position, however, to see if you have VAM 7 rather than VAM 3. VAM 7 is scarce and will sell for a premium, especially in PCGS plastic. Another diagnostic of VAM 7 is a lump on the E of LIBERTY.
