If the coin ain't in my hands, I will not mention any words about it. There are still gems to be found in the rough sea on ebay, I have find quite a few, knowledge of varieties to what you collect is wonderful and every man to himself when that gem reviews. |

So I'm still missing something. Did he originally post the link and later remove it? Or are you two psychic? Thanks in advanced for the lesson. It would never have dawned on me that someone would contact the seller AFTER a purchase is made. Good to know...

Yeah, he made the wise move of editing the link out.  |

Good to know... as SD mentioned the "members" on this site I would trust with just about anything but there are some people out there that is all about themselves and not happy for their fellow collectors like you see here. Even though we don't usually attract these types to join the forum we do have people that lurk without joining to read the forums and see whats being discussed. Those may not share the brotherhood that our members here share with each other |

I'm hoping my friend PG gets the coin he purchased and it proves to be the wonderful score that his knowledge and experience says it is. I say again that (when the link was posted) ... I see a circulated Morgan ... he sees a valued VAM.  There are valuable lessons to be learned from this thread ... my personal take-away lesson is that there are sharks out there in the water who think only of themselves ... so protect your 'great scores' until the coin is in hand. Once in hand ... we all want to see and rejoice in the collecting accomplishments of the fabulous members of this greatest of all Internet collecting communities. Hoping to soon see some photos of PG VAM Morgan. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Nice grab. You wanted it more than me as my 3 sec. remaining bid was less than yours. Congrats.

I lose as many or more than I win up there on The Bay, but the thrill of the hunt makes it all worth it. It's strange that given the rarity of this particular VAM, one can find raw ones as well as several graded ones periodically. Of course the more well known VAM4A (Hotlips) are up there in large numbers. PG |

What is this particular VAM worth? Is there a list of VAM prices? Or is it whatever a buyer is willing to pay? |

As a random comment and piece of possible useful advice (though it may already have been stated in a different way): These forums are public to read even if you dont register. I wouldnt be suprised if there are people out there trying to cherry pick cherry pickers by watching for things that 'light up' in different forums and see if they can figure out where they are coming from.
Just a thought.

Quote:Is there a list of VAM prices? Or is it whatever a buyer is willing to pay? Canadian Banknotes .. I missed the second part of your question. The answer is "yes" and "yes". The Price Guide is published annually and available through VAM retailers. It is a guide only and the market is set at what folks are willing to pay. We use it as a guide to put us in the ballpark for certain coins. But there are VAMs out there that spark a lot of excitement when they become available and command prices greater than the guide, sometimes much greater. Then there are many common VAMs that carry no premium. |
