Is this an 80 over 79 or am I seeing things? The top loop of the second 8 looks "funky". I wouldn't put it past you...

Looks to be MS-63.

Is it me or does the "S" mint mark look like an upside down 5? Maybe it's one of the S over S varieties.

Me thinks MS64 also maybe 80/79 VAM8 as well.

Who me?

The slab insert is almost filled up to capacity. There is something about the mintmark that requires some close up images when I get it "in hand".

Nice coin by the way!

I have no idea where to place a value on this coin;

PCGS - No value listed

ebay History - none found

Numismedia - Nope

VAMWorld - nothing recent (2008 for a NGC version)

I did find a couple PL (real close) & DMPL coins but those can't compare

Probably paid too much, just south of a 100, but I like it!

Well, of course, I like it and I think the price you paid is well within reason in my opinion. Very nice upgrade!

Upgrade? Hmmm...I already have my 7070 spot filled (1888-P ANACS MS63PL).

Well, I guess that I will have to put together a Morgan dollar Mint Mark Set (D,O,P,S & CC) together.

Time to start looking for the the "O" and "D". The "D" is kinda narrowed down to a choice of ONE (1921) and I still want a 1882 O/S or 1900 C/CC.

Thanks for the memory jogger!

Oops... I assumed this was an upgrade for your 7070. You know what happens when one assumes...I didn't realize you were venturing down the VAM trail...
