VAMming the night away with this cherrypicked unattributed 1904-O VAM-23A rusted die (R5). Old PCGS flat pack/"rattler" holder. VAM PUP's clearly visible made this one easy!  How do you think PCGS graded her (a long time ago?) Seller's pictures are too white, but that actually made the VAM easier to pick.    Thanks for looking & may the VAMs be with you! -AB Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Good eye!  My guess would be 63 in a rattler.

I think the slab says MS-63, but you should have no problem getting an MS-64 out of it today.
