1884-O/O $1 Morgan Silver Dollar, ANACS MS 63, VAM-10, Hot 50

[Pareidoliac]

Does anyone have any recent sales information on what this VAM is worth? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Extremely common variety
It’s only worth grey sheet prices

[Pareidoliac]

Thanks. I appreciate the feed back. I've only been VAMing since last Fall. I'm not sure why folks call it a Hot 50 if it's really not a hot or hard to find item.

Understanding vamming in general is very hard
And it takes time,and patience,
But you will get there
Im still learning!
Happy vamming

In general, I agree with vam-mysterio.
VAM 10 is extremely common and is available in very high grades, and I agree with his sentiment that it is worth little or no premium over grey sheet. However, the reality is that actual sales prices can be (and have been) all over the place. Whose holder the coin is in has something to do with it, but I think it's mostly a function of how knowledgeable bidders/buyers are about the VAM. Here are the MS63 sales prices I have in my current database. The first one on the list occurred just the other day and I can't even begin to imagine what at least two bidders were thinking:
