Looks like a VAM-1A, Donkey Tail to me. I'd guess XF. Do you agree?

What donkey?

cosmos66 · October 29, 2003 10:19AM

Okay I'll bite ... what is a "donkey tail"?

bearcave · October 29, 2003 10:20AM

Kinda hard to tell from that pic, but it does look like a Vam 1-A.

Gilbert · October 29, 2003 10:20AM

It does resemble the Vam1A, but I would want to clearly see the path of the die crack to be sure.

It is hard to tell from the scan, but it does look to be 1a which is known as the donkey tail. Click on the reverse picture and look at the D in DOLLAR...It has what has been called a donkey Tail that extends out from the D and it is a popular VAM...it is fairly rare if I recall correctly and sought after by the VAM specialists. The coin looks original... may not quite make ef but I would buy it and be happy with the coin because it does look original.

Best I can do on a close-up:

Book copy:

Could be sweet. If it is, Dr. Fey lists this as $525 in XF45.

I suppose PCGS won't recognize this Top 100 variety; even if I beg David Hall...shame.

Gilbert · October 29, 2003 5:25PM

PCGS supposesdly DOES recognize the Top100 Morgan varieties; providing you pay extra for the attribution.

David Hall... How much is enough?

I called PCGS customer service, a very pleasant young lady took a long time with me to get the right answer. They WILL NOT recognize this one on a holder. Drat.

Back to ANACS....sigh.

BTW, I bought it on eBay for $35 bucks. A steal...
