I know it has issues but I'd like some comments on grade.

If I'm reading and judging the photos correctly in the ANA Grading Standards book, VF-30. But this judgement is only by your pictures.

30 details, scratched.

It shows more of the underlying tail feathers than the one I have on the Bay now:

Why would you say it's not a 7/8 when it most obviously is?

40, no sticker.

boucharda ... your's is a VAM 33.

I'm curious about why the OP's coin was not thought to be a 7/8 by DK. Hopefully this is one. Any idea of the VAM? I've had it for exactly 50 years. (I keep VERY complete records!!).

cheezhed · April 17, 2009 12:02AM

Yes, that is a 7/8 TF.

But the real question....is it a:

1) Joint
2) Toothpick
3) Themometer
4) "Other"

Ah, I see.

The variety as a whole is called 7/8 TF.

Thanks Karl!

I wish I could comment on more coins posted in these threads. Unfortunately during daylight hours I'm stuck at work and they employ filters that block most photohosting sites (i.e., photobucket). All I see is a little red x. Boucharda used auctiva and I can see those. It's real frustrating and just hope posters don't think I'm in "ignore" mode.

VAMSKY · April 17, 2009 3:07AM

Ah the old 7 over 8 debate! And don't forget "strong" vs "weak".

VAM 37 is classified as "strong" ... Vam 33 is "weak" of course, that is, if you send to PCGS. NGC doesn't seem to care.
