Re: Wanted 8TF PCGS if possible

OK VAMmers, down to one 8 tail to have a complete circulated basic set. Need a 14.4, I don't have the lowest set but all circulated. I have some dot coins to trade if you don't wish to sell.

8 different obverse dies and 5 different reverse dies doesn't sound like an original roll, rather one that was put together from searching treasury bags. Either way, still cool.
Maybe, as you know more about this. Was told roll has been locked up for forty years.

Re: 8TF

I got to see an original roll of 8TFs about 7-8 years ago, composed of 3 different common VAMs. Seeing 2-3 die pairs in a roll is often a really good indicator that it's an original roll. This roll had 1 VAM 3, 1 VAM 4, 1 VAM 21, 2 VAM 10's, around 8 VAM 6's, 2 VAM 17's, 3 VAM 16"s, 1 VAM 7, that I...

8TF

Bunny was impressed today, got to look at and attribute an original roll of 8 TF Morgan's. All turned out to be common, but fun to look at, as I will never see an original roll again.

Re: WTB 8tf, not so commons

All three of those are profoundly difficult coins. Other than public auctions -- which can easily be years apart -- it's not an understatement to say that you might get only one chance in your life to acquire a 14.17... and ditto for a 14.19. What Dennis said. I started collecting VAM's around when...

Current PCGS price guide list the coin at a wallet busting $225.00. Need the price I paid for the VF details.

I sometimes wonder if PCGS knows how to operate an On-Off switch.
Its price is low by a factor of about 20.

$1750

Re: NEW GAME,,,,, VAM "The Price is right "

Time to put some cash on the table. Some know the answer, so they cannot play. Coin was purchased in a SEGS holder, several years ago. I cracked it out and sent it to PCGS. Mike Farone did the attribution and he called in Oxman to verify it. First one problem free and it was a late die state. Variet...
