Aw, come on Mr. Squirrel.... the 15B that I sent your way in ANACS 40 had to be worth $25 LOL

Outstanding, Congrats on the acquisition

Nice group of picks there.... congrats!

Welcome to the site. Just to get you started, take a look at this page found in the 1878 listings http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... g_Nock_PAF

I guess my message in this thread back on June 4 was a little too cryptic?...... or ignored LOL

Looking for VAMs 4, 4A, 8C, and 14..... not sure if any of them really exist. Plan to try and work w / LVA when he has time to clear up any possible duplicates, other issues. If you have one of these and are willing to part with, let me know..... Thanks, Jon

Then the fun begins, waiting for delivery, hoping the right coin shows up...... I did notice the seller had a second 1891 o, very similar condition ending about an hour later that day. Not wanting to risk a mix-up, I bid that coin up a little, and won it. It actually cost me a dollar more than the 9...

Finally after looking at more than a few thousand 1891 o Morgans, this one showed up on E-bay recently.

.................

Really nice. Have been looking for a 189 for a long time without any luck.

Very nice..... the mm fooled me at firSt, but I Cee it now LOL

My stay at home time has led to a little extra time on the search for interesting Morgans to add to my collection. The latest one to arrive at the house was a 1921d VAM 1R (noted in the listing) Perhaps a little later die state? http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1921-D_VAM...

Interesting read.... A number of years back at a garage sale, I picked up a book by Q. David Bowers, "The Coin Dealer Newsletter, a study in Rare Coin Price Performance, 1963 - 1988" It has selected copies of the newsletter from each year, as well as many interesting articles about each years trends...

Referring to this? http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... Ms_by_Date It is in the second listing subgroup, second one down on VAMWorld Wiki Home page. Peace VAMs by date are in the third subgroup.
