1901-P Morgan help...

flyingcougar13 · July 16, 2004 1:05PM

This coin resides in a PCGS MS62 holder. Marks are more consistent with a MS63, but between the fairly weak strike (consistent with the date) and market grading, it is in a 62 holder. The interesting thing about this coin is that I believe it is a VAM-5, the doubled ear is faint but the extra olive on the reverse is very profound. Any ideas as to current value and/or rarity of the Vam-5 in the grade?

Looks like it is an R3, (hundreds of thousands)

Vam 5 1901 p doubled ear isn't listed in the top 100 vams. 1902p MS63 vam4 doubled ear $400. + com $43. This comes from my book on the top 100 vams Morgan varieties MICHAEL S FEY.

NGC calls it a Hot-50 Link But PCGS doesn't give variety designations. It's definitely not a Vam-3, what a dream come true!

If that is an 1901 in ms62 slabbed by PCGS, don't worry about the vam, it has plenty of value already.

I'm not sure what you mean by the term market grading, but the majority of 1901-P Morgans in MS are generally average to weakly struck, have average to poor lustre (washed out and/or dark lifeless look), and many I've seen also have rather unattractive medium to dark toning which further decreases their overall eye appeal. IMO a mint state 01-P is one of the worst overall looking dates in the series along with the 96-O and a few others.

Checking the date on the OP, I doubt that flyingcougar13 is looking for an answer here anymore.

I agree but the coin is now almost 5 years older!

Hey bigslur that coin looks like a POS.
