I'm selling this 1890 cc and I've had questions about the odd mint mark. I have looked it up in VAM World and I'm not sure what it is. Can anyone help me?
Here is the link to my auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/11100294254....m1555.l2649
It looks like a tilted date VAM 2, But also looks like it was maybe doubled?

I'd call that VAM-2, understanding there's not a whole lot of information extant on the variety. A little doubling unmentioned at VAMworld wouldn't be shocking.

Although your starting price is well within the value of the coin, I suspect it will turn off many bidders who expect 0.99 auction starts. It's a difficult decision for a seller to make due to the risk.

Thanks SsuperDdave. I have it starting there because auctions have been going cheap on many of these. I only added the percentage of loss to ebay plus my purchase price for the start. If it doesn't sell that's ok with me, but I don't want to take a loss on it.

I don't blame you for that. If you're patient, a sharp buyer who knows the coin's worth will sometimes set up a snipe for the end of the auction so he gets it for your starting price.

I've done it.

I'm hoping a platoon of snipers show up, and someone gets an itchy trigger finger.
