My Find of the Day 1 1

[J P M]

I think I did good today. I picked up this 1897 for $90 and this 1899 O for $70. The hologram on the 1897 is worn a bit and the holder on the 1899 has a crack on the back corner. All things considered the coins are very very nice and at that price it was almost like getting the 1899 for free.

I also picked up the 1897 with hopes it was a VAM 3-A  it has all the marks for it.

Thanks Hoghead , They are not big money Morgan's but they look nice and fit my budget.

Good stuff as always JP. Keep em coming.

Nice Morgan JP ! pretty soon you'll have them all and there wont be any left for us LOL. As or the VAM, wouldn't you thin PCGS would have noticed that if so?

I don't know if you have to have them check for varieties or if they just do it automatically. I just (haha well not just, Nov 5th) sent in my 1887 Suspected VAM 3 and hoping for a good outcome. They are opening coins deliver on the week of 10-18-21 right now. My coins are 11-9-21 officially even though they actually got it on the 5th. Waiting for a good outcome on the 2021 Morgan CC and the 2021 Peace and the 1998 ASE P Proof too.

 

Nice coins nonetheless.

Nice Morgan's JP and good luck on your submission Bill.

Very nice finds! I really like the 97, from the pics it appears to be a sharp looking coin.

Yes the 1897 was a real clean looking coin for a MS 64 it has a couple of very light marks that I think may have held it back from being graded a MS 65 but looking at it with my loupe the doubled 1  the pit marks on the back and the patina really caught my eye. I could not pass on these coins for that price. They are Both VAM'S the 1899 has open 9's.  Now if I could find a 1895 and 1896 for that price I will be real happy..

Not sure how other TPGs work but with NGC you have to select the variety or error box before they will list it on the holder. Its an additional $15 to do so. If it is a variety they reconize and its not listed on the holder then whoever submitted it probably didnt pay for the variety plus service.

You are correct Hoghead, The truth is Bill when it comes to any variety if you don't pay it wont say. So I think it was not asked for. They are both minor VAM'S that's for sure but not worth the extra cash to whoever sent them in.
