1878 S PCGSMS63 VAM 76 or 50?

Post by bhinkle » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:40 am

I had my 1878 S PCGSMS63 labeled a vam 76, because of the way the Acid Treated Wing Feathers looked, but I think I see a tiny round dot, behind the mouth or lips.
Can someone please tell me if it is a vam 'funky feather', vam 76 or 50?
Thank you, Bert

Thank you Harry.
I saw what looked like a round dot, behind the lips or mouth and questioned it,
because I saw that on the vam 50 page and not on the vam 76 page.

Response vam 50 or 76
1. Never seem a v50 in 63 - A 62 yes

2. Vam 76 much more common in Mint state than v50

3. Picture of chin dot is deceiving but not big/bold like v 50

Having a 76 in 63 is pretty cool- having a v50 in 63 would top that by 5x

I am a holder of quite the v 50 collection

Definitely a very nice V76.. There's a few 64s out there. Not many.

Crikey, mate. What a coin! I'll need to look at my 50 to make sure it is a 50 - mine is beat up for sure, but still in hand!
