VAMWorld 2.0

Fantastic grades!

The only problem is half the time the seller has no idea what they are talking about. I have notified sellers only to get childish name calling responses. Check out the last one.. of course he was wrong and ended his listing. As I said in the description, we DO NOT LIST ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING ABSOLU...

PM sent!

The one time I wasn't looking. SMH

Amazingly I bought another 1878 in this auction and didn't even look at this coin since it was cleaned.

147 has not been changed in the registry. @fogie @alefzero

VAM 140.2 is now VAM 147, as it uses a different reverse die.

Long nock proof.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234668988592?hash=item36a35c98b0:g:drgAAOSwYKNjA4yo&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4LQySyoQRcn9d%2BH7i0%2B8PppqCRXt518W2uh3VB7mXVJWrRWlG7b6FyLlrDeDeFSMU1wAxvKkqUYwTjcpI0B53%2BcFq7JK8u7x3aq4aPZWEtOqrEhCpg0BeMWs%2Bb9y6ckORD9Ddj71h67hgVuQC%2BUL6BqEd0LjB3PBp0xn9HVPUGoTLa...

Good luck! I'll be looking through for sure!

Most VAMs aren't rare, thus the premiums aren't valid. Top graded coins will always attract a market. MS64DMPL VAM-43 happens to be fairly common and if not in a PCGS holder no one will pay a premium.

Will the registry be updated soon as well? Will the current 140.2s be automatically moved to 147 or will we need to go in and update?

Yes good luck finding a no-crack; no polish 80; Uber rare IMO; problem is it’s easy to find a VAM 80 attribution on a holder. SO most 80s are really 80Bs; and they are really common and often PL. The sequence goes 80-80B-80A; LDS 80As with blobs of metal at T of UNITED are tough to come by but yes ...

LOL.. the PCGS site was showing 50 days for regular grading orders just a day or two ago.. Tomorrow is day 50 for my regular order. I went to check the turn around times and it's now 65 days!! Was hoping for my grades next week but looks like I can add 3 more weeks.

This will just be for fun. Might not actually get as far as racing against other people but want to have a bit of fun before I'm too old to be able to enjoy.

Hey JG, I'll send you a PM.

I'm hoping to purchase a Porsche 911/991 GT3. I live near Laguna Seca and have a couple of colleagues that have GT3s and one is an instructor.

I will only live this life once so have decided to take up race/track driving as a hobby. :twisted: I have had a blast the past 15 years building these sets. In order to get a jump start I will probably sell half my Morgan collection, maybe more. I will not break up my 1878 sets, it's either all or ...

My guess is MS64.. but that is not my opinion on the grade.

PCGS is a smoldering turd of a company. If it wasn't for their registry I would never use their services.

I won the 1878 MS65 DMPL NGC MS65 VAM-170. I remember when this coin was found and posted on the old VW site (Rick Snow?). Probably saw this coin the very first day is was listed on Heritage almost 3 months ago. It was a long wait that finally ended yesterday. I think I paid a fair price though.

Had to leave you feeling pretty chipper.

I see what you did there.


If anyone is curious and couldn't figure out the variety.
