NGC Has Finally Done It

this is the B1 set http://coins.www.collectors-society...eSetID=19238 It will have a MS-65 VAM-82, MS-65 VAM-70 and the VAM-85 included in the set as soon as they get graded. they are now "scheduled for grading" on their site
This is all the different attributes for each coin in the set http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?album=154


I have my eye on a VAM-81 in MS-65 and if I get it I may have them pedigreed, I would love to find a MS-64 VAM-80 before I do that though to be honest. I have two MS-63PL but just can't seem to find that one MS-64 anywhere

I don't know what is going on with this submission, it has been sitting "scheduled for grading" for almost 3 weeks. They may be having problems with the VAM-85 attribution or something. I did send them a email and asked if they needed me to forward the letter from LVA or something and they said there was no need but I have never had one sit there for that long before. Usually once its changed from received to scheduled for grading its about 3 or 4 days and then its in quality control. Wish they would hurry up because I am ready for my baby to come home. they may be taking pictures and stuff for future attributions or something

Excellent!

would be even better if they would fix the VAM-85 section to include points for DPL so I could actually add it to my registry set. Every time I try to add it, it tells me it can't be added to this slot. I am guessing because its a DPL coin and they have slots for MS and PL but no DPL (I don't understand why, but thats how it is right now) VAM-86 is the same way but as far as I know there has been no DPL VAM-86 found so it probably will not cause a problem for awhile but all three VAM-85's that have been found have been DPL

well they finally got it fixed, well almost anyway. I can add it but every other coin in the set in 64DPL is 1239 points (except for VAM-70 and 79, which is more) but the VAM-85 in 64dpl is only 762 points. But oh well at least I can add it and maybe they will fix it sooner or later

Do you have all of these displayed? It would be fantastic to see all of these in one place at one time!

It would need to be under high security, I don't know if I would want to keep all of these in one place at one time!

well they did raise the score a little it is now 1066 points instead of 762 points so they are really on the stick getting this straightened out. The way they had it a 64DPL was 762 points and a 64PL was 829 but even though they are still about 200 or so points lower than I thought it should be by judging the rest of the coins in the set I am happy to at least be able to add it to the set. My set is still only 90% complete but at least its 10% more complete than any other set. I also hit another milestone with the set. I finally got that illusive MS-64 VAM-80 I have been searching for, for about 2 1/2 years now but still looking for as many other 64's I can find so for everyone that was helping me look for one, still keep me posted if you happen to come across any. Figured I would add the banner to my signature like the others that are competing in the registry so I can see if my set changes rank

well at least NGC does recognize the VAM-84 with clashed E (which is really the 84-A) they just don't call it 84A, and well we all know my opinion of the 80A, I think it will be killed sooner or later because all it is, is a later progression of the die crack at the T. So its just a LDS VAM-80, no clashing with letter transfer or anything. But who am I to argue
