Cool Find from Ebay

[prudden]

Bought this raw 1880 S Morgan on Ebay for $25.00.I'm trying to put together a nice 63/64 roll .It's a nice frosty MS 63 coin. When it arrived I looked closer and it turns out it's a

VAM 11 Hot 50 which is an 1880/9 Medium S overdate.Turns out it's the only 80 S VAM in the Hot 50 list. I haven't taken pics yet.These are the sellers.You can't see the VAM detail in these.

Very cool for you!! Too bad that Chris Machuga hasn't been posting in such a long while, he'd have been very enthusiastic over the find.

First thing I looked for was anything odd in the date. When I saw what looked like file marks or gouges inside the zero,I thought it might be an overdate so went to Vamworld and saw this picture. Identical to what I saw.I found the rest of the markers.
