Raw coin, bought really cheap. Thinking of sending it in along with others on the ANACS fall special. You're opinion on grade and any problems. VAM is an R-5.   Edited as third photo was of a different coin. Edited by Beefer518

Some pictures indicate 62, others 63. I think the multiple horizontal marks across the cheek visible in some of your photos put it at 62.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Exactly my thoughts. Slowing down the light show a bit might help, or even giving us stills of each image.

I just removed that last image, as I realized it was a different coin.

AU58, try to acetone off the fingerprints before you send it in. Nice VAM pickup :) 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. Brandeis |

62 is about right. The fingerprints aren't that distracting and I'm not certain acetone will touch them.
Let us know your results.

Anyone have an idea of value on this thing? Can't seem to find the 29a with prices realized.

I'm in with the MS62 crowd and the value is that of a raw 1884-O in MS62 condition. This is a common no added value VAM . |
