SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 7:56 pm Oh, *hello. Spectacular* coin. Unfortunate fingerprint, but if this isn't 65 I'll be forced to consider counseling the relevant TPG with a baseball bat. 66 wouldn't surprise me. Still working on an attribution; I wanted to post as soon as possible. 1899-O's are known for silly die cracking, but this one should be unique-enough to nail it if there are photos extant. Thank you for posting this. Report this Post to the Staff

PWinDavis Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 11:37 am SsuperDdave, get your louisville slugger out... Thanks everyone. I wanted to hear your thoughts on this because I was told that this would be a good candidate for cracking open and resubmitting. Sounds like I would definitely get a bump in the grade...

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 11/22/2012 02:42 am I'm always slow to get online these days, but my first impression is...VAM 11A....OOOPP'S yea the grade....Definately in the MS65 grade...I own this one in PGCS MS65 and I think this is in the same calibur...This coin is a later die state.... Note your coin has a addition die break from the "D" in united to the rim.....Note also this additional, difference,, from photo's I can't see in hand to observe other differences which could or not approve of an additional VAM designation........but the finger print may have been the failing point for the grade..?...Nice coin....
