InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 7:42 pm Got this one out of the circ box (ammo box actually ) at my local B&M , thought it looked pretty nice because the color brings out the details nicely and for 14.50 how can you go wrong. I am sure the price will be up this week if silver stays above 16 dollars. I have not visited VAMWorld on this one yet so any VAM suggestions would give me at least a starting point.

Nothing striking to nail it as any specific VAM; it'll be necessary to go over it in detail for doubling and such to attribute the specific VAM. Report this Post to the Staff

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 8:32 pm I'd feel comfortable seeing that coin in an xf-40 grade.....and yes, for $14.50 you couldn't go wrong! Report this Post to the Staff
InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 8:46 pm That coin toned long before it got to the ammo box that my dealer uses for the circs..but you can give it a try ! Thanks for the start SuperDave. After a little scrutiny, I think the first couple stars to the right and left of date are doubled, and possible the 1 at the top of the bottom serif. Back of ear looks doubled...On the reverse, The bottom right serif looks doubled on the "T" in UNITED. I think the toning hides the wear somewhat, I would grade this close to SuperDave, VF-30 or so. Tough to see if things are doubled with that amount of wear on the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
