"VAM" stands for "SCAM". "but many of the coins don't bring a premium in the real market" - a beautiful statement. Morgan dollars ain't rare. oly They aint Rare per say but they arent all that common either..... Hundreds of millions of them were melted VIA the Pittman Act of 1919....... Gary |

Here is the ebay auction where I won the coin. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8413831771 As you can see it was graded MS65 in an older green PCI holder. This one has the 14 digit serial number. I've lost the link to Eric Tillery's web page on these but I believe these were mostly accurately graded. This one actually has very few marks and the ones it does have are light. I'd say the worst mark on the coin is in the field to the right of the eagle. I have very little in-hand experience with Morgans but I've seen tons of images and most MS65's I've seen looked more beat up than this. The luster is good but muted a bit by the heavy tone. I think it's fairly graded but wouldn't be too surprised if PCGS gave it a 64, but it would be a high end 64 I think. I doubt it could go 66. I'm not sure if I will sell it in it's current holder, cross it to NGC or ANACS or just put it away for a while. Since I paid pretty much 64 money for it with no indication of the VAM I think I'll do alright either way. Bingo. 14 Digit Serial is the Most Conservatively Graded. Gary |
