I was bidding and was winning up until the last few seconds with my bid of $675.00 but I have to say I am kind of glad I didn't win it because I have my eye on another peice that I found after seeing this one on there. Anyhow I was just wondering if it was someone on here that was bidding against me on it

    Just curious: what grade and service was it?
    When in doubt, don't.

    Nice coin, but at $750 how much profit is left in it?

    I bid 675 early on and wish I had waited till the last minutes. I was hoping no one else would see it (wishful thinking) and would get it cheap but it went up to 500 in the first hour and knew I had my work cut out . I dont know who won it but like I said I was high bidder up until the last 5 seconds then got outbid

    Maybe I am misunderstanding his post, but it looks like Airplanenut won the coin. That's a nice one.

    I was watching it too as it quickly got out of my price range. . .

    Oh, I should add that the image meant nothing significant... I didn't buy it image

    I didn't bother bidding as it gotout to a place I didn't feel the coin deserved to be. (And my core collection is PL varieties.)

    Picked up the rusty fish hook and an '87 clashed. Sold four of my lots. Guess I need to lower my reserves to where it starts to hurt. Someone got a nice AU '93 doubled stars from me though among the four.

    Hmmm...

    So, does anyone have any ideas what this coin suggests a PCGS-63DMPL might be worth?
    When in doubt, don't.

    I probably would have went higher but there were no prices to go by as to how much was to much. I saw a 63DPL sell for 611.00 on ebay but that was basically it, went to vamlink and their prices had no PL or DPL prices so oh well, i hope who ever got it is happy with it. it will probably be awhile before we see another one that nice

    I got one one TT last December (I think) in an unattributed holder that cost me after all of the expenses to PCGS were added in ..... $300.20. I think it might be worth a little more now though.

    I didn't win it either - - since I am trying to get as many VAMs in PL/DMPL as I can, I was tempted to bid high. But at the last minute I decided that it wasn't worth the price, at least to me.

    I also question that it would grade PL by today's standards.

    This is the one I lost out on last week at Teletrade. My bid of $700.00 was outbid in the last minute and I thought for sure I had it. The numis media price was only $225.001878 8TF MS63 PL Vam 15 Top 100

    How the heck I missed that one is way beyond me. It was right in the freaking lot title even! I look at every Morgan dollar too. Well, isn't that a major brain fart.

    I cant keep up with all these dadburn VAM's so I usually just check the dates I know well and leave the rest for everyone else

    Not me. I have a VAM 43 in 63PL. I have a VAM 45, too. Now if only I could average them together. image
