Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 06/15/2013 02:55 am I was going through my grandfather's collection that was left to my family and came across a VAM 2F Hair Pin on a 1992 P Peace dollar. The gouges are in the right place as is the die crack. Is this one worthy of being sent to ANACS? Edited by Coinfanmorgan 06/15/2013 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You're meaning the gouge under the R in TRVST, right? Tough to see in the images. This one strikes me as a baggy MS coin, and the VAM is common in Mint State and known to at least MS64. In terms of today's value, slabbing isn't called for unless the plan is immediate liquidation and you're willing to take a chance. As a hedge against future value when VAMming is more common (if you're holding it for a while), it's probably recommended but the current value doesn't offset the cost of the TPG.

7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 06/15/2013 4:03 pm The gouge or break in the hair is really cool! From what I see on ebay it is only worth about around $60 no matter if it is in a TPG holder or not. If it were in a MS64 holder it would be worth grading but it is very common in 63 and below. My guess is your coin might get a 62 or 63 because of the bag marks. It is a nice coin though. If you want more opinions on grade there is another section of the forum that you can ask for others opinions. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...FORUM_ID=134 Edited by 7TF 06/15/2013 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 06/15/2013 4:53 pm I believe it has the gouge from what I can tell. I might take it into a PCGS authorized dealer close by next week just to get confirmation. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 06/15/2013 5:06 pm I can't seem to get a good enough picture. I'll post the one that I did get of the area below the R in Trust. I can't tell if that gouge is there or not. Looks like I need to purchase better photography equipment one of these days. Report this Post to the Staff

What you're using right now is more than enough. The gouge is going to be pretty subtle to a digital camera; you may have to tailor the lighting to it. Try one light at a fairly oblique angle - 45 degrees or so - aimed to fall across the gouge (aimed towards 9:00, to the gouge's right, for instance) to see what it'll do.
