dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 3:03 pm with 91o as this being a legit VAM-2A. I can also make out the die crack from the rim to the letter S in Pluribus. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 4:01 pm Ya I thought VAM 2 after I looked as well but thought the mm looked larger. I guess from wear flatening. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7630 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 4:06 pm Nice fine condition coin. The rim ding might get it a NET grade. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:19 pm I'm stuck between VG10 and F12 but I'm also a conservative grader. Appears legit. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Necer149 Valued Member United States 457 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:20 pm F12. Nice example of this key date. Your grandfather had a good taste in coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3180 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 5:27 pm thanks guys. I don't think he was much of a collector, just saved what he could. These coins have been stored in a small sewing case for many years. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36844 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 8:27 pm F-12, I don't think the nic would cause a details grade on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3180 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 06:44 am Well that is good news! Maybe I should send off to get graded? Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 06:50 am Generally the rim bump shouldn't garner a details grade unless it's so big that it shows on both sides. I'm no fan of coin slabs but in this case I would definitely get this coin authenticated as it would greatly increase the value. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/23/2015 1:46 pm 91o and Dave got the attribution right (of course ) which lends faith to the originality of the coin. Features like that crack are very darn difficult to counterfeit believably. You can expect a TPG to be fairly lenient with it, not because it's an 1889-CC but because it's circulated heavily. A dealbreaker rim bump on an XF45 is not so much on an F12. But yeah, cleaned, disfigured, bumped or not this one needs to be in a slab if ever offered. Report this Post to the Staff
