Picked up this for $15 the other day. I didn't know it was an O/CC when I bought it. Turns out to be a Vam-10A unfortunately not the Vam-10 recognized by the grading companies but still cool nonetheless. Anyone want to take a shot at what this will grade as? I want to say MS range somewhere. It looks just like if not better than two MS 62 NGC Morgans I have atm. Also should note the capsule has scratches on it that show up in the pictures so it may be hard.

That's a huge score for $15! I agree it's at least MS62 with a shot at 63.

Great find! The hair above the ear looks like it has wear. Or is it just the strike?

Congrats!! It is a massive find.

As far as the grade, I think I see some wear on high points both on Obv & Rev, so AU58. If it's photos(or capsules), then MS62.

Congratulations. Great find. Slightest hints of circulation rub that does not appear to be from weak strike, so AU-58.

Well, goodness gracious. Even if it wasn't an O/CC it would still be a score. You won't find a regular 1900-O on ebay like this one for $15. No way.

ANACS or VSS will slab it correctly, to the best of my knowledge.

Oh I also want to note when I opened up the capsule on the inside there was a fingerprint. Knowing the pawn shop this came from, they pick up every coin by the face, I used the same technique I used when I had to remove a finger print on my 1902 S using a little bit of acetone, just a short soak and rinse. Just to be safe, honestly at that shop you never know. I think they were the ones who put it in the capsule.
