Well I think its time to move on to something else. I have had this set done for a bit. I have upgraded it to the point if a top pop shows up I would be all over it but that seems to be like walking thought raindrops, very hard to no get wet .

Well I now have the set back from PCGS. Pedigreed as
SEEEEing Things Collection
and all in cert number and VAM number sequence as well as secure plus. To coins got upgraded that are a lock "Never to be beaten grade"
1884 P V-2a in MS-66+ and the 1891 O V-1a4 discover coin in MS-63 both are 1 of 1 with no higher coin.

So far this year has been real good starting with day 1 at the FUN Show with Bobby and Susan. So everyone keep yours eyes open, and your mind sharp. Their Be VAM's out there lurk-en!

I am now actively and I mean...."Actively" working on Rob Franklin's WOW Set. This set has a few very Rare VAM's that are not list coins but should of been like the 1878 S V-18 and 18a most are the Stevie Wonder, Ronnie Milsap and Ray Charles of Morgan dollar set.

Even a blind man can see that VAM . His book will be out in about a month or so that's slated to be a 5x8 size so it would be easy to take too shows and every page has only 1 coin on it in date order.

I also plan on asking John Coxe if we can add an "I" clashed Morgan set. There are fewer "I" clashes then "E" clashed Morgan's and Bold ones are very cool. The 1904 O date has a good number of them with the Rusty Fish hook and the real rare one is the "1889 P" Dream Clash. Included in this set are "3" 1921 S Morgan's and the 1921 Morgan's in total are not known for much letter transfer type clashes, even with over 80 Million plus struck.

Russ,

I recall the day you showed up here and couldn't spell VAM. You've come a long way amigo and it's a testament to your drive and passion for those chunky silver disks. Once you got going, I used to try and keep up. These old eyes just can't do it anymore. I doubt you'll try to EEEEEEEK out a living somewhere else ... nice try though!

It was kind of like watching a well-sorted-out drag racer leaving the line - we gave him one or two sentences to start with, and he just vanished like we'd fired him from a cannon.
Rest in Peace

My V-1b looks like a every AU-50/53 when I put them side be side of others. I am working on an EF 89 O V1a2 and I do what to put an AU-55 or better in the V-1b. The only reason the 78 P V-84a is not a 65 and they are out there is I can't justify 900.00 for "4" points and my 64 is a very nice one.
