VAMWorld 2.0

Three more photos:

Before I sold my Morgan set and paid off the house, one of the few upgrades I was considering was a 1903-O in MS66. But it never happened because I couldn't find one that I liked enough. Then last week on eBay a PCGS coin with a CAC sticker came up that, even with the seller's not-very-good photos, ...

$1,400 is what those used to sell for in that grade. But like the VAM market in general, things have changed the last few years. For nice PCGS-40s $1,000 is about right. For coins that are unattractive, or in other TPG holders, I've seen them go for around $800. Keep in mind than an eBay seller has ...

I've been trying like crazy cherrypick one of those!

Is it graded? Is it original or dipped? Is it nice or something less?

You got bad info, John. I sold them 3 myself.

"Well ensconced in collections" is an understatement. ANACS examples occasionally come up for sale, but it's been a couple years since I heard of a PCGS-attributed coin being offered. If and when they do change hands I strongly suspect it is privately. Last I was able to look, there were only about ...

Thanks for the warning John. I just finished writing up a submission, but hadn't put it in a box yet.

My phone is an Android 7.0. Is that what you mean?

Cookies... I'll do that as soon as I learn how.

I am unable to log in at all on my phone (android).

I look forward to hearing what LVA says about it.

Looks like you did it Lee!
(not too hard, right?)

Congrats Larry!
I'm not a '78-CC collector, but way to go on that one!

I enlarged John's photo and was blown away. My head is still spinning. I can make out FOUR Long Nocks in Mint State, but there may be more. OMG!!

Thanks for the information about the T-2 die state!

Here are photos I took of my 57. Can anyone tell which of the 5 die stages I have?
I tried to add a 6th photo, but apparently the new system won't allow more then 5?

There are 5 different die states for VAM 57??
Guess I'd better get mine out and shoot some pics. What do I need to look for?

I was watching the Heritage online auction this afternoon and was amazed to see the PCGS XF40 VAM 60 Long Nock go for $5,760 including buyers fee. I knew those are tough, but wow!
And Heritage didn't even have it listed as an 1878-S VAM 60... the title said 1878 VAM 60.
