Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 1:28 pm Kudos to ANACS for providing an unsolicited attribution of my 1889-O VAM-23A. I sent in a batch of Morgan dollars for grading a few months ago, and I generally check the VAMs myself and ask ANACS to confirm the VAM only on the interesting ones or scarcer varieties. I had this 1889-O as a VAM-8 based on the mintmark position, but I missed the die crack and field break on the reverse. I didn't request attribution on this one, so I was surprised to get this back labeled a VAM-23A (R-6) without asking for or paying for the attribution. Of course they were correct, and I was impressed that their graders noticed this variety and provided the attribution without a specific request. ANACS has a good reputation for variety attribution, and they definitely will keep my business for VAM attribution in the future. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 11/26/2022 2:37 pm Yes, it's a pretty noticeable displaced die break, and I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't connect it to that VAM before I sent it in. But it worked out in the end! Report this Post to the Staff
