Bottleguy Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 11/26/2007 11:42 pm I just picked this out of my last bulk purchase of PCGS MS-63s. I'm hoping someone can confirm that it is, indeed, a VAM 51A. 1902-O VAM-51A III220 · C4p (Doubled Ear & Profile, Near Date, Doubled Reverse Legend, Clashed Obverse G) (181) I-2 R-5 Obverse III220- Clashed die with partial incuse G of God from reverse showing next to Liberty head neck. Later clashed die states show filled base of 2. In addition to the clashed "G", there appears to be a clashed "ST" in the hair vee. Also, on the reverse, some of the legend appears tripled, and the motto is doubled along with both left and right wreaths. Oh yeah..... can anybody tell me why this is listed at $1200 in MS-60 in the Jan. 2007 VAMview Retail Price Guide? Thanks! Rick Report this Post to the Staff

I will keep looking and see if I can find out for you but right now its not in any of my books Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/27/2007 12:07 am I got these pictures from ashmore site and they look like you may be correct with your attribution #51A III220 · C4p (Doubled Ear & Profile, Near Date, Doubled Reverse Legend, Clashed Obverse G) (181) I-2 R-5 Obverse III220- Clashed die with partial incuse G of God from reverse showing next to Liberty head neck. Later clashed die states show filled base of 2. Its showing it as a R-5 so I don't know why it would show a 1200.00 price for a MS-60 Report this Post to the Staff

Check the VAM-26A shown right above it...... it's $3,000 in MS-60. And a R-5, also. BTW, the 26A and 51A look an awful lot alike in earlier die states..... Thanks again, Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/27/2007 07:33 am This may be why the pricing is as it is, I just noticed the date and around that time is when the Super CD was released I believe and that would have sparked interest in just about everything in there (I remember they had a 1878 VAM-84A way up there in price also and it is more common than the regular VAM-84)and probably not many of them known at that time either. I don't get VAMview price guides but from what I understand they take actual sales of the coins and give you the total so it should be pretty accurate for the time. Again this is pure speculation here Report this Post to the Staff
ocsjr2001 Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 12/01/2007 12:17 pm The VAMVIEW PRICE GUIDE is from prices realized from actual sales and I got that from the Man himself. This price could result from one or many sales but does not mean or imply that you will receive that much for it. Sadly, not all coin buyers have very deep pockets. However you have found a very nice VAM, if you keep it ---enjoy it, if you sell it-- I hope you get a ton!! Report this Post to the Staff
