GUESS THE COIN!

[cpm9ball]

This is a take-off on a game that James started last year. In this version, you will have just three clues at your disposal, and you will be required to determine the following for this U.S. coin:

 

1. Date

2. Mintmark

3. Denomination

4. Variety

 

You may guess as often as you wish, and I will let everyone know as soon as possible when the correct answer has been posted.

 

NOTE: Unfortunately, there is one member who will be asked not to participate because I bought this coin from him just recently.

 

Have fun!

 

Chris

 

Are you ready? Here we go!

It looks like a VAM-3 and there are plenty of them-I'll say 1880 CC VAM-3.

OOPS--Morgan $

 

I believe I'll change my guess to an 1885 P Morgan VAM-8.

Good luck all.

Jim, since it doesn't seem that anyone else is interested, I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

 

But, first, I want to take this opportunity to thank Tom W., BAJJERFAN for being so generous and selling me this coin from his Registry Set. Even though it wasn't attributed by PCGS, Tom was already aware of the designation.

 

So, without further adieu, here it is! 1885-CC, PCGS MS65, VAM 4

 

The mark just below the jaw is barely visible to the naked eye. I guess I'll have to get a lousier camera.

 

 

Thanks again, Tom!
