VAMWorld 2.0

A double edged sword in many ways- over the yrs i personally have been blasted by a few members here for selling/talking money/about values -up or down. Lets put things straight- I am a avid morgan Collector/Hoarder first & foremost. Second; The acquisition of thousands of Morgans made me & led me t...

Guess im lucky to have a PCGS ms65 top pop NAOH

BEEN WANTING TO SELL

Never heard of VOTY but im on outside looking in. LOL I am not a set chaser but amassing a set of VOTY would be challenging and we should have a published list. Sounds like a great/fun undertaking to me. Lets see if membership here agrees. So i vote that if we dont have a list we get one- Maybe JR/J...

Mr John Roberts aka JR and " The Dream Crusher" has struck again in 2019 LOL
I have looked at quite a few vam 48 and never bothered to look in hair for curved line
Goes to show were always learning/ which makes this sport a total blast
Thanks JR

The Late: Mr Gene Henry was vamming/assembling oodles of Morgan Vams quietly before their was much interest period. He was dedicated to making money from dealing /then putting a portion back into vams as a savings acct. This all as a true vam hoarder withot telling very many including his heirs of w...

Since im excited about finding 1881 o vam 16 PCGS 64DMPL: here's a Yesteryear Long Beach pickin story. The Wash State coin dealer: The late Gene Henry and Myself decided before the show to a pickin competition. At end of show the winner had to pick up the tab for the others show expenses/table fees/...

Check neck for clash- if there its 49 if not 48
Pics show possible metal on 2nd 8-but may just be hairlines like shows
on 1st 8

vam 49 is a clashed N at neck & clash at small hair V

I now believe the 1881 o has been quite under appreciated except for the unreal Hawkeye work, of which i never really spent time looking at until now. As my eyes arent like 20 yr ago, i look at my coins through 10x microscope and i saw this reverse much like 83-0 1C. To my amazement turns out vam 16...

Im excited to find: 1881 O vam 16 Tough as hens teeth PCGS 64 DMPL-- ssdc shows 2 in this grade Top Pop- over polish/rev This one underappreciated/sleeper in community Much rarer than the current R4- IMHO R6/7 JB - says attrib 1 of 1000 hes done rev reminds you of 83-0 1C Try finding one!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Looks just about like 83-0 1C

Just ran across this = PCGS 64DMPL - BLAZING MIRRORS & Gotta love
the roughness reverse

I see 2 at SSDC in 64dmpl-Top pops This is the 3rd

Any ideas on value????????????? Thanks 1881 O vam 16

Remarkable amount of vams available unlike before the silver & metals headed south price ways. Silver $50 to current under $16 really impacted our Morgans/vams values and it seems stellar vams available at bargains We now see many vams available that we never saw much from 1990-2008 examples: 1878 v...

One such story; I selectively bought 10 common 1880 s'1881 s Anacs yellow/gold holders high grade ms66/66pl. All ebay- selected coins that looked super black mirrored 7 went PL or dmpl 4 dmpl 3 pl - increased value by several thousand$$ so i continue to buy examples that seem heavily mirrored. Just ...

Was looking over the coins and the 1891 vam 1A with heart shaped die chip on forehead - seemed familiar - the 1878 vam 229 also has die chip forehead and is rare as hens teeth- SSDC top pop is 55pl Most wont grade and if they do they grade less than what you would expect Ask - LN Pete and he will co...

fantastic-but IMHO not a die break- but rather struck thru wire or debris
I have collected coins like this for yrs & love em as their abnormal
and command nice premiums upon sale

An answer to Chris from his reply: A HUGE AMEN-- THANKS LVA

I hate even sending girls off: Grading TPG - seems like frigin forever------- I have never sent to LVA - Its very tough as he's got hands full it seems On Post office- always insure and use your tracking number to see if delivered in Transit etc. I personally dont have time or patience to seek out D...

All statements meant to be positive/constructive i hope LOL Over several yrs as this organizations member i have been concerned about the lack of any type of sustained public advertizing etc. Most Assn's -etc advertize their services/products etc outside their normal channels. We truly need newbies ...

A few short yrs ago this kind of rainbo was bringing crazy money. A wash state dealer friend of mine was cleaning up on super toners. I told him to sell em fast as the craze would subside. Still bringing nice premiums but public doesnt have money anymore darn it I love this obv rainbo- kind that com...

John; Congrads from Oregon 88 contestants & 8th is no easy deal- I know you see tons of coins but its still very tough competition and im prowd you excelled. kudos to the vam official
