I was all over that thread then, still haven't found one that wasn't already labeled as such and cost an arm and a leg. DOH! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 08:21 am The coin is due for delivery today. The more I look at the photo, the more I am convinced that you all are right. The crack appears to deviate from the vamworld plate coin. On the vam-10, the die crack follows a continuing path through the point of the neck. This one has the zigzag of the vam-14. Angles and lighting make it difficult to say. I should have news this evening. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 09:01 am Either way 1883-P dollars that are nice are easy to resell I've found, at least I never lost money try to score a VAM-10 in all the Morgans I purchased with false hopes. This one is really nice looking. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 12:40 pm I'm sure I can get my money back from this purchase and even a little more. That's what made it worth taking a chance. This morning before work, I brought out the VAM-14 Morgan I already have and am now convinced that's what will show up in the mailbox today. Very disappointing, but that's how the game is played. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18684 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 1:54 pm my comment about MS64 vs 65 was if the coin was to be resubbed to PCGS they may not see a 65. the obv is 65 all day for any TPG. PCGS may look at the little lighter strike and field marks on the rev to keep it under that. its a moot point since the OP is not sending it off to them Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 7:45 pm Coin arrived and it is definitely not a vam-10. Beautiful coin and vam-14 as I thought. Thanks for the expert opinions and I'll keep looking. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
