VAMWorld 2.0

Well, I received an NGC-61 78-S from EBAY last week. I couldn't figure the variety from the photos, so I took a chance (cheap BIN price). Anyway, in hand, I could not not find any obvious match. Thanks to some much needed help from Lewis Rosenbaum after exchanging emails, VAM 71 is confirmed. The VA...

check 221B

Somebody is going to rue the day they bought this coin; > $600 with several minutes left

ugly, if nothing else; I once owned an AU 55 that was far better looking; I would stay clear of this one

Fantastic!

Did not realize the GSA treasure trove had so much to offer!

Non-clashed is rare; that said, collector interest is probably low as the 78-P collector data base is relatively small and the EDS does not occupy a seat in the SSDC registry, so probably not a whole lot of added value. That said, I have one (ANACS XF-45) in my set and very proud of it, with thanks ...

Yes, will probably look at the 78-CC GSA set some more; I have a few in that set. I still have lots of work to do in the 78-S set; a distant 3rd place in the SSDC registry with that one...

Another milestone complete; the 1878-CC is complete, thanks to my "Help Wanted" ad on the BST pages; currently #2 in the SSDC registry, but well behind the set from the individual that literally wrote the book on the subject. I will try to upgrade when I can of course...so the hunt continues!

try 160

Strike 1878-CC V7 from the list; nice XF-45 being added to the set; thanks!!!

For now, I will consider 22C & 22B one and the same, leaving another hole in my set that can't get filled...

Nice picks, JR; I especially like the 78-S V101!

Well, it's getting harder and harder to fill 1878 model year holes, so, I thought I'd run a help wanted ad. As for 1878-P, everything I need I ultra rare and probably outside the budget so I'll just keep my eye open for opportunities if / when they arise; but just in case need 4A, 14.11., 14.11A, 14...

So, what differentiates V80 & 80B, or is V80 just another empty nest?
