Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 12:23 pm I'm selling this 1890 cc and I've had questions about the odd mint mark. I have looked it up in VAM World and I'm not sure what it is. Can anyone help me? Here is the link to my auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/11100294254....m1555.l2649 It looks like a tilted date VAM 2, But also looks like it was maybe doubled?

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 3:07 pm I'd call that VAM-2, understanding there's not a whole lot of information extant on the variety. A little doubling unmentioned at VAMworld wouldn't be shocking. Although your starting price is well within the value of the coin, I suspect it will turn off many bidders who expect 0.99 auction starts. It's a difficult decision for a seller to make due to the risk. Report this Post to the Staff
Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 3:19 pm Thanks SsuperDdave. I have it starting there because auctions have been going cheap on many of these. I only added the percentage of loss to ebay plus my purchase price for the start. If it doesn't sell that's ok with me, but I don't want to take a loss on it. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 5:26 pm I don't blame you for that. If you're patient, a sharp buyer who knows the coin's worth will sometimes set up a snipe for the end of the auction so he gets it for your starting price. I've done it. Report this Post to the Staff
