Yes, there's a reason why I bought this coin, and why it's in a TPG slab. Can you figure out why? Happy hunting! Grading and thoughts appreciated.

G-6.
Heckuva cherry. I've looked for a long time and only found one of that type, but not the same die.

I'd say VG-10, nice and original. Long nock, but not sure which VAM, maybe 59? |

This is VAM 26, by the way. I now have 26, 56, 57 for 1878-S, and 2 VAM 33 1878's. I need a 27 but they are elusive in the wild! 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 |

Good snag! VG-08. Following the side discussion of VAM-27, I saw one a guy was peddling on a bourse floor last fall, and took a hard pass on it. It had been freed from a belt buckle, was chromed, and had been buffed to death. I . . . just . . . couldn't. |

@fortcollins my 27 was heavily cleaned, and handled roughly, but the major die diagnostics are intact.
I wouldn't have bid on it attributed, but as a cherry from a stack of $25 Morgans it was just fine...

Doesn't that right 4th star look broken?
