Got this from Heritage last week and thought I would look for any markers.
Found a few, turns out it's a VAM 75 not 1.

Re: Milk Spot Question

In a thousand years they probably all will be milk spotted or black .

Why I have always thought "toned coins" should not be bought at a premium.

Re: Selling 151 Vams

I also got 6, a little extra on two "I just had to have". Let some go to stronger bids, snoozed on one. Went over my budget, as always.

Re: Work of lady dollar planchet adjusters - 1904

Interesting that they had "bean counters" watching workers even back then. I wonder if Soule, Kennedy or Todd were my relatives.

Re: Some Vams you just wont Sell

As for me, I'm a collector not a dealer like some of you are. I used to be an accumulator, as long it was money from somewhere, I kept it. Then one day a guy at work was showing someone a raw Morgan he bought on Ebay. He said he wanted to get one of each date and mint. Cool idea. I had bought a PCGS...

Done that. Nothing. That is my main question, Why was the 58 eliminated and to what? Here is a pic of mine showing the unmentioned crack that can be seen on the full coin pic of V-58.

Re: 1880-O Elimination Question

Let me rephrase the question. Is V-66 the wrong reclassification for V-58 as my coin shows all the PUPs for a 58 but none for a 66 or 51? Should I be looking for my coin under another listing?

1880-O Elimination Question RE-DONE

I have an 1880-O with all the PUPs of a V-58, yet the 58 has been Re-Classified as a V-66. Now the 66 has been Re-Classified as a duplicate of the V-51. My coin has none of the PUPs shown on the pages for a 66 or 51 nor do those pages list any features listed on the V-66 page. Was the VAM 66 elimina...

How did this happen?

Heri.jpeg This sold at a famous auction house eight years ago. Nice clean looking coin, now it is up at another house and it is tarnished. I don't say toned. I have long suspected that holders could "leak". That would mean that all those colorful coins people are paying premiums for will one day be...
