Went through an album of silver dollars at a LCD yesterday and quickly spotted this doubled ear. I picked it up for $32. I didn't realize how good of a pick this one was until I got home and looked it up. VAM-20 is in the Hit List 40 and VAMWorld says it is "very scarce in vf/xf". And as an added bonus, it's well struck for a 1890-O!

Auction records vary wildly but are consistently much more than $32, so I'm very happy with it. Even if it wasn't worth that much, it's a cool DDO and it would fit well in my collection (I have an interesting idea for a set and I would need this one for it).

Thoughts? Opinions? How'd I do? Rarity?

Very very nice! A very nice doubled die and a good looking coin. Looks original as well, which is a plus since most of the varieties I find are cleaned beyond repair! Again, Very nice!
