I sure hope not, because its not the prettiest toning on a Morgan I have ever seen unless the pictures really do not do it justice. I would think if it had vivid toning NGC would have given it a star. the reason I ask is because I just bought one in the same grade, graded by the same company for $244.50 less a couple weeks ago

It is not that pretty. I can not be 100% on the Vam-70 with the photos,(my eyes are not working yet) but there is only 9 type 7 TF 78 reverse long nock's and it looks right. It's a 64..... but I what to stay out of the air the guy was breathing that paid that much for it. What is the VAM price that you have on this? |

I actually have a MS-65 VAM-70 (which will be one of the coins that brings my B1 Reverse registry set back to #1 where it was previously) but also just bought this one a few weeks ago and was the coin I was speaking about above in the same grade by the same graders http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...370330807518 |

I would suspect "misattribution" or someone crazy for color. I see this all the time on the Bay ... except for my offerings.  |

There was a second Long Nock in that grade which went for the same price, both from Internet bidders. I suspect a couple of rookie VAMmers got a little too enthusiastic about the whole affair, and got into a bidding war.

Maybe where we are messing up is we tell them what VAM it is instead of making them think they are going to cherry pick us Yeah I tend to agree. If the listing has the VAM attributed and a commensurate price tag, I usually pass right by. There are very few "well funded" VAMmers out there (especially on ebay) and most lurk as cherry-pickers. When I list a popular offering, I will not attribute it, but show clear close-ups of the PUPs without being too obvious about it. There's a seller on the Bay right now with some cool 1878 VAMs that are raw and unattributed. But by looking at the close-ups provided he/she knows what they are and provide pics of areas on the coin not normally enhanced. There will be a bidding frenzy at the end.  Oh did I forget to mention that I cherry-picked an 8TF 14.6 (raw XF), an 1878-S VAM 18 Spaghetti Wing (raw AU), an 1878 7/8TF VAM41C Bearded Lady (PCGS 63),and yet another 1880-O VAM 49 (Raw AU-55). Life is good! |

I remember if it was a specific VAM the only way to sell it for anything what it was worth on ebay was to have it in the title so when they did a search it would show up. I guess there are allot more VAM collectors now and they are all looking to pay a premium for the coins they think they have cherry picked |
