Discovery VAM AU-50 Whats It Worth

Hi Corey,
Welcome to the forum! Thanks for providing the link. I'm no expert on VAMs so I'll wait to hear input from those who are. If this is truly a new, rare VAM then it will be worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. The market will decide the value - it was something like $115 when I checked the auction. Not too shabby.

But I would be careful about spending lots of money on a unknown quantity. It may turn out to be very common - or very minor. That's just my own opinion however. And my cynical side would be sure to ask whether the coin in the auction is the actual coin in the Van Allen letter. There are many dishonest people out there. Again, that's my opinion.

I agree also, just because this is the discovery piece (new ones are being found every day) doesn't really mean this is a rare VAM, it just means this is the first one discovered which may be worth a small premium over a 1892-S in the same grade if there are allot more found to maybe a huge premium over a regular 1892-S if there aren't that many more found within the coming years of its discovery. The only thing we know is this will be the only discovery coin that will exist but that doesn't really mean a whole lot unless the VAM it represents is found to be a rare and popular with VAM collectors

its got to be one and the same person considering he even added the "Discovery VAM on ebay WOW!" to his signature line
