1888-O VAM-1B4 Scarface

[cfr88]

Earlier this week I received my Scarface back from NGC newly graded as MS 62. I could never manage a decent picture myself but this is the certification page https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6444503-001/62 .

In trying to research my coin I have found values all over the place. In particular one local dealer that seemed less then trustworthy claimed that the coin was MS 60 at best and offered me $3200 for it when it was ungraded.

I realize that the price has come down over the years, but I'm wondering what this forum that has helped me so much in finding out about my coin thinks I could reasonably get for it.

Your coin is indeed a VLDS. Meaning it's a "real" Scarface, not one of the EDS versions that have inexplicably and ridiculously soared in price lately. Yours is stage H10 to be exact.
MS62 is what about 80+% of all real Scarfaces seem to be. Here are a bunch of prices to help you be even more confused about values:
