Hi All Im looking and have been looking for YEARS for a 1879-S REV 78 VAM 34 in AU53 or higher grade . Just putting this out there if anyone has one that they are willing to part with PM me . I know it a rare Bird in that Grade , But I have to ask !!! Thanks iceman/John

I would guess MS63 due to the Chin gouges look a little deep . But Hey its NGC and
we shall see Its just a guess .

John C Congratulations on the BOOK ,a massive contribution to Knowledge . WOW !! Job Extremely Well DONE !!! And Way cool that PCGS is attributing using your new attributes . Please Post a Photo of a PCGS attributed COIN with your Trade Dollar Challenge attribute . I would Love to see it . SUPER BIG...

Vamit I totally agree with Mark on the Pulling the trigger if it was in a PCGS holder . I was thinking the same as Mark . Yep crossovers can be iffy . But sometimes they come back with a higher grade . I had a 1878 VAM 44 in ANACS AU53 crossover to a PCGS AU55 . So you never know . John / Iceman

You should have also mentioned to the grader ( If he was a True PCGS grader) That PCGS doesnt guarntee their attribution on VAMS , Heck PCGS should put their money where their mouth is . And also he doesnt recognize VAMworld !! LOL , Where are VAM info and attribution info comes from and makes the V...

They do have a section on Buy/Sell/Trade on the SSDC page Registry messages Also . It doesnt work since it shows 13 posts with No posts that you can look at . Actually the whole message board is like that , I dont know if its something Im doing or not . Just a FYI

Albannach Interesting that the Mint released coins in quantity to the dealers . I guess different rules apply to different groups . I did like the subscription deal with the mint and got 10 of each without waiting . Just wanted to get some of the 1st strike coins . Im submitting to PCGS the 20 coins...

Hi Ok Now I see it under the SSDC page ,View Census , Under Full Date Census , Pop down for the date , and There is all the data and click on the VAM for the Population . COOL on that !!! Took a bit to figure where it was , LOL . Good Nice Job !! Excellent to get all the data and Perfect !!! MANY MA...

Morganman Maybe a listing on the SSDC with a Rarity rating per the VAM in a general list . This would have a statement as it is the old listing of the rarity index , so it would be for reference only a general guide . That would help to give a idea of the Rarity of certain vam's that are being resea...

Vamnuke Yep the only reference was a small blurb on the VAM 1 page . But heck just thought I would ask and Im really Happy with the coin . When research on these doesnt turn up anything on the SSDC or Vamworld its Wise to ask the Crew !!! Many Thanks to all . I still wish the rarity factors ( Rating...

Messydesk That explains alot to me about that , Its all in the PROOF of 30 Days , and if over the 30 Days ship the box unopened ! Makes sense and thanks for the explanation . Yep the subscription that the US Mint does now is supposed to even the field with the collectors vs dealers . So it should in...

Hi All When I get a Coin from the mint and want to get a 1st strike designation from PCGS . I understand it has to be submitted within the 1st 30 days of issue . But should I send the coins in the original box from the Mint ? Or the packages the mint provides ? Just wanted to know the proper procedu...
