1880-O Vam 6C

Post by jjwolcin » Fri Feb 03, 2023 11:09 pm

I have an 1880-O Vam 6C in PCGS MS63.
I see that it is pop 5/1, but have no idea what it is worth.
Anyone have a clue?

Thanks Dennis.
Yeah, the selling prices are very inconsistent.
Also, puzzling is the fact that a 64 and a 64+ have sold, but pop stats show only one coin graded higher than 63.
I guess its possible that the 64 was later upgraded to 64+, and they are in fact the same coin.

On second look, I no longer think the 64 and the 64+ are the same coin.
Instead I recall an 64+ being incorrectly attributed as a vam 6C, when it was actually a common 6A.
It is probably now in a 6A holder and removed from the 6C pops.

That is an excellent possibility! I only record sales as they are advertised, so coins that are self-identified by the seller may actually be wishful thinking.
