shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 6:11 pm Purchased these about 2 hours ago. Cherry picked the 8tf from a group of Morgans sold for silver....around $27 the 78-s was a little bit more ....what would you grade?

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 6:28 pm You got an 8TF for melt? 0_0 I'm thinking the '78-S is 63-ish and the 8TF is low-EF-ish. Any chance of a detail image of the 8TF showing the area where wings meet legs? Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 6:46 pm This is about as detailed as I can get with my point and shoot. Yeah I was pretty happy with pulling the 8tf out.....however my dad beat me to the 78 w/ a 79 reverse in AU 58.....got that one for $29....which I will be trying to attribute that one Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 6:51 pm The 78-S looks like it may make MS-64 and the 78 looks to be about EF-40. Nice pickups! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 9:05 pm Great picks! I say MS63 on the "S" and EF40 on the 8TF. Can't wait for the results on the VAM numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 10:02 pm Wow! Nice picks! Is that 1878-S a long arrow nock? Can't quite tell from the photo? If so score of the decade!

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 01:17 am doesn't look like a long nock to me. I will say MS-63 on the 78-S and EF of the 8TF Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 11:19 am The 78-S looks around 63 and the 78 8TF around VF35~EF40. The 78-S is not a long nock ... no long nocks have a broken 'r' in "trust". The 8TF appears to be a VAM 2. Great pickups for that price. Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 12:26 pm I've determined the 78-s to be either a VAM 46 or 46-A....will have to take a closer look when I get home....based that off my photos. Need to get the 8tf under a scope.....will check out VAM 2 first. Report this Post to the Staff

shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 2:11 pm and 14.3 it is....I believe..haha.....both have some similar attributes but was able to match up more with the 14.3 Report this Post to the Staff
