1883 0 VAM-1c2 Dollar

MS61 maybe 62 on a good day. As far as R7 and added value, I'm not really sure. I've never paid a premium for one but my understanding one may be more desirable if LDS with the die chip on the wing. I have one but it may not quite be LDS as the die chip is more of a die sink. Congrats on picking up one of my favorite VAM's.

Edit to add - Is the reverse die single or double clashed?

Perhaps I should clarify on the 1C1 that was sent to JB@VSS... he must have seen an M, but it is nothing like the M on the V-1C2. The 1C2 is also double clashed on the reverse. Please let us know what you find out after doing the necessary research ;)

The I number is the interest number given to the VAM as estimated by LVA at the time of discovery. I'm guessing that the actual interest may be higher now that the 1C is on the new WOW list. The same is true for the R number - the best estimate by LVA for the rarity at time of discovery.
The reason for my question regarding the number of Die clashes is that a single clash is likely to be the 1C1 die pairing (different obverse die than 1C2). There are some good photos on the 1C1 page to confirm the obverse die. http://www.vamworld.com/1883-O+VAM-1C1




I was thinking my cherry pick of a EDS VAM1C1 was my luckiest pick. Now I'm wondering if the semi LDS 1C2 was a better pick.

I'm pretty sure that's the 1C1 obverse die. I can just make out the die polish lines in the hair curl when I enlarge the image.

so if you were listing this coin for sale how much would you ask? Found couple on e-bay that were MS62 and 63 for $199 to $219

I just cherry picked a PCGS MS62 1C1 for $48 but the pictures were terrible and it was not attributed.

You and me both, Nate.

True, but I would sure like a VLDS that falls between the example I have and that crazy 1C3. I was also dreaming about a VEDS 1C1 that has almost zero die sink. lol
Off to look at '83-O auctions.....
