This one was an easy one for me because it was already slabbed when I bought it

Nice VAM-5. The V5 is rarer than your V16; the 16 is a common 8TF.

Thanks again CherreePicker! I am specifically targeting the "Top 100" in order. And to pick up the first in the series is exciting.

TIP - Don't always rely on the TPG slab variety. They are often wrong. ANACS seems to do the best job, as they employee John Roberts " VAM Master" I see PCGS and NGC slabs that are mis labeled all the time, and once in awhile it will be for a pretty expensive VAM variety. Do your homework, and when in doubt consult an expert first before laying out your hard earned cash on a tough VAM.

Good advice westcoin I saw a 7/8 1878 with the wrong label yesterday and although the price was really good I didnt go for it because it was a weak double and I cant just go after everything I like so I'm trying my best to stay in the 8TF lane until complete.
Rest in Peace
