1900-O/CC VAM?? ~ One of my finest (and most expensive) cherry picks.

VamGuy · August 28, 2006 12:44PM

About a month ago, I placed the finest known example with a collector in PCGS MS64.

Then I found this one.

Fresh from the Denver Superior auction...

Great mintmark(s) on that one! Congrats!

Very nice(oh crap, now I am a vammer

)

Whoa!

Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find this in MS-66. This post will self destruct in 10 sec.....

Considering all the die rust, I'd say a pretty easy call as Vam 8a. b/t/w: How prominant is the cut to the cheek?

I have a few pcgs O/CC's and have not sent them in for Vam desig. In my book the only O/CC worth a designating is Vam 7, although others would include the Vam 9. Any O/CC is tough in 64 & 65, nice coin.

The coin is actually a VAM 8B. It's the MUCH RARER clashed die variety of the VAM 8A.

The VAM 8B is among the clashed die varieties featured in the book "Elite Clashed Morgan Dollars" by Mark Kimpton.

The cut to the cheek is just a common bag mark. The angle & direction of the light used in my photograph seems to have enhanced it.

Wonderful coin, congratulations. Clashed as well.

How many O/CC dies are there? Not VAM's, but how many diferent rev dies are there?

Leiana · August 29, 2006 1:07AM

Clashes are fun.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but...

I had one in PCGS 64, found at ANA last year. Went to the SSDC meeting and
couldn't move it in a room full of vammers! Everybody looked at it, said nice things and
handed it back.

Dumped for a small loss on eBay.

Six....VAM-7 through 12 are all unique reverse dies. A number of die states - 7A, 10A, 8A, 8B.

Another PCGS-65 VAM 8B was cherrypicked by a collector/dealer in California in July I believe, so they are out there.

kwmorgan · August 29, 2006 2:46AM

Got my first O/CC this past weekend. They are neat coins and a must for a "CC" nut like me. I was looking at my Morgan date collection book last night and the 1900-O I have in the book is a multiple clash. Neat looking.

Only one thing to say:

ABC123 · August 29, 2006 3:14AM

Lucky You !

No rain here Jack. (not counting the hurricane I'm currently being hit with).

I recently managed to sell a VAM 8A in PCGS MS65 for over $3,500.

I'm sure I'll have absolutely no problem placing this PCGS MS65 VAM 8B into the right collection... without taking a loss.

Peaceman · August 29, 2006 7:44AM

Shouldn't be a problem placing it with the right collector.... Nice find!!
