Can you tell me which variety of 8/7 this is?
Also, what would you grade this? I want to price this properly when I sell this and a handful of other CC Morgans in the next week or two)....

I think maybe a VAM-3, and VAMworld can help you with specifics. ANACS will attribute it if you wish to grade it. One of our posters here, he attributes & slabs varieties. Former auction results might reveal a price point?

Rev 66
Overall a 65 is possible? I'd price it as a 66, but with some flexibility.
I'm not sure, I wouldn't worry about the VAM if you're selling it. It's none of the obvious ones that will get you a premium. It's MS-64 tops, maybe a 63. There's a lot of marks on Liberty's face and neck and a big mark in the field under the chin.

I’d guess MS63 given several quite solid nicks and hits, which the OP has highlighted. Very nice CC coin.

It’s a fairly nice one; I agree with the MS63 assessment as there’s a significant but not atypical amount of bagmarks.
I’m not certain which VAM it is, but it’s not one of the major ones that will garner a premium. If you also have the outer black box with a good hinge & the two COA’s, it will be more attractive to a dedicated GSA collector.

The coin looks like a 63 to me.

MS63 maybe a 64 on a good day. Don't care about VAM's myself but you should be able to find a match at vamworld.

solid 63
Thank you everyone! I really appreciate your help and your honest opinions. I will try to come up with fair (and negotiable) prices for these GSA CC Morgans, and will offer them here in the next day or two. Thanks again!
The reverse looks clean but there's too much chatter on Liberty's neck, cheek, obv field... MS63.
