VAMWorld 2.0

Keilg1 Well thats a tuff descison to make , To break out or not . If you send it to PCGS for a crossover in the slab and mark the Min grade MS63 PL and If it doesnt make it they wont break it out . Just a thought ! So you would protect your holder if they deem its a lower grade then 63 . I just see ...

I would say the grade is a MS62 PL due to the fact its 1878cc VAM 18 ( My Guess).
And Thats High on the TPG grading scale for a VAM18 . Just a guess . But still
a Nice looking coin . Doesnt look like any Problems with the coin .

I was just trying to figure out Why , But as said " Buy the Coin and Not the Holder " But as we know photos can be deceiving . So it is also wise to consider the age of the holder and what time ...

Hi All I was wondering did PCGS/NGC get alot of PL designations wrong on Morgans ? AKA designation of a PL when in fact its a SEMI PL ? Or is it possible in some way for a PL to lose its PL over time in a Holder ? Or was there a Time Frame at PCGS/NGC that PL standards where when not quite up to par...

DHalladay Does the Weak/Strong designation have anything to do with the EDS ? Also recessed and FLUSH terms ? Just trying yo understand these terms in corelation to the EDS and LDS . But Maybe Im just looking to far into it . And its just the term for the Non EDS VAM 3/4/5 accordingly . Just wanted ...

UncleBingo
Yes the Weak / Strong on these is very confusing and I hope someone can explain a bit about that .

But On the Coins pictured its a LDS and I would say AU58 .
