paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 9:57 pm Been trying to pick one of these for years. First time I've ever pulled it off. Pretty sure this is a VAM 5 based on the MM, would appreciate confirmation. I need to get it slabbed so I can put it in my SSDC registry (along with like 50 other Morgans I need to get slabbed!!)

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 11:03 am Dang Adam, you're on a VAM roll brother... I would say your attribution is correct based on the obverse die gouges and the mint mark being a micro. I'm not even sure who will slab the privately made VAMs anymore. Maybe ANACS and I think ICG will. Congrats!! Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/06/2020 8:24 pm Only problem is, apparently PCGS won't slab these anymore. Quick edit: Weighed it today. It's 25.6 grams. As a rather unscientific test, I "ring tested" it vs. a few other coins. The closest ring match was a late Victorian half-crown, which is 0.925; that's in line with JR/TD/DC and others who have found the Micro O's to be between .920-.940 fineness. This one has the wavy surfaces, as usual. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
