Twenty-Six 1878s, ANACS Grades In

[Flat-Chested]

ANACS Grades two shipments. Very slowly progressing on a 1878s collection of Morgan dollars.

First shipment did not fair so well, six coins received clear grades, eight coins did not. The email sent to me indicated just two DETAILS graded coins, actually there were eight DETAILS graded coins in the shipment, I may have set a record here (57% of the order is DETAILS graded).

This following second order did not yet arrive, pleased in the MS62 grade for the VAM-1D2, happy to get a clear grade for the VAM-77. Very pleased to obtain the VAM-100 in any grade, wire brushed is ok. And four more Long Nocks with clear grades to add to my San Francisco Long Nock collection. Although there are only three coins listed here as receiving DETAILS grades, I am concerned there may be more failures found within when the coins arrive.

Like I said to Dennis…
But, hey, between the two of you, ya got’em surrounded!

[Flat-Chested]

Actually 4 details in the second set, a total of 12 details coins, sadly.

So that is where all the 1878-S VAM-22 s have gotten to! Congratulations!

[Flat-Chested]

Congratulations instead to the 1878s VAM 22 sellers who knew their coins were critically damaged.
