Much better. I'll stay with AU55. She would have a wonderful home with my collection. To answer your question about slabbing (slobbing ) MS yes, AU no.

I'm bumping this because I was AWOL when it was posted, and amida17 was smart enough to call me out via email.  1900-O/CC is one of the most famous variety series in the entirety of VAMming. They're among the first varieties a newcomer to VAMming learns about, and one of the few that all three major TPG's attributes. As such, they tend to trade at a premium even if they're not particularly rare. There are 5 different O/CC numbered VAMs, and a couple subvarieties involving clashing. This one is definitely VAM-8 - the O/CC is easily the most striking of the whole bunch, and you can't miss it - but 8A or 8B would require better images of the obverse so we can see if and how strongly it's clashed. 8A is roughly third most common of the O/CC's. 8B is a little tougher.... If this coin is going to be flipped, even as an AU it's going to carry a premium, and it's going to be attractive to beginning VAMmers. Lots of liquidity. Enough to justify slabbing? I don't know. It would have to be an original-surfaces coin, either way. Can we possibly learn more about the obverse of this one? It'll help nail down grade as well. |

Yeah chris I need to do that. I cannot get any better pics. Need to see what your scope can do. My only fear is that you will not let me leave with it.  |

I'll wait for better pictures before I wager an opinion on the condition. I will say the close up of the mm shows potential. Very nice variety none the less. |

I'm thinking VAM8a or b the 8b would be more likely I think on this coin, but as SsuperDdave stated better Obverse photos will be needed to nail it down. The only VAM that it seems close to is 8 so I think you've got a winner here. Slabbing it? ANACS has a good deal running now for $13.00/coin so not too expensive, but you need 5 total coins + shipping and Insurance for their deal, if you have other coins to go then I'd send it in even in AU condition. Most certainly if it warrants a MS designation. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
