AU58 or MS63. Hard to tell from photos if it's uncirculated. Looks like a decent strike though.
Are you sure there's no E?

I would go MS63, New Orleans were known for Weak strikes, so that probably accounts for the Lack of detail in certain areas

I see slight rub in the fields and on Liberty's cheek which tells me it probably isn't a mint state coin. AU-58 seems fair based on these photos. Looks problem-free. Any premium value associated with the VAM 20B type? |

I was told there wasn't much more added value but nobody knows the population on this one and from what I've heard there isn't a lot kicking around nor are there many in MS

well the image optimizer is expired so can't load the file.
anyhow, Yellow ANACS holder, AU55, VAM20B attributed on the holder, I believe this to be an MS62/63
gonna have to break out my first coin any suggestions on how to do it safely lol

Hmmmm, I'm not seeing the rub. For some reason, and it could just be the photo angle, it looks like the obverse got all of the strike and the reverse got the typical New Orleans weakness. Hmmph, I've never been good at telling high AU from MS though. Having said that, with the exception of the nick on her neck, it looks pretty good. I'm going to take a shot in the dark at MS64.  |

I think it's a little better than AU-55 but not an MS coin. Not sure breaking it out will net you a higher price.

I am actually not selling this coin, it is a very rare state and still not many popping up I just want mine to be among the top Which at AU 55 it still is but I believe it is an MS. I got better pictures but the optimizer is expired now. I believe the reverse is a 64, obverse 61/62 but no matter what it ain't no AU 55. It seems the rarer the VAM the way harder they grade them, hmmmmm I wonder why? |
