Ok, so last time I found a 91-0 it was the 3A1...Guess what SuperDave ? I think I got the 3A2 this time ! This one came out of the same bin the last one did...17 bucks...

After noticing that the 91-O's were not real prevalent (I thank my Son's 18th birthday for that ! ) I decided that I would try and get a few when I ran across them- and it gets better too...
So...a couple Saturday's ago when I was working at the shop, an couple regulars came in and they wanted to look at the circ Morgans. I got the bin for them , and since I was not busy at the time I decided to take a look at them too. I looked at all the coins they rejected. They are not "collectors" per se, more like silver hoarders that buy a little of this and a little of that...Anyway... I pulled this one first only because it was a 91-O and put it aside while I finished looking...Next coin I found was an 1888-O VAM4 "Hot Lips" ! I was pretty happy about finding that one. Pretty worn , but you can see the doubling . Pictures of that coin will be posted next week when I get it home- along with another 1888-O VAM4 that is in much nicer condition. I will have 3 Hot Lips coins when these get home

The Hot Lips coins are really cool, but the circulated values do not even compare to this 91-O VAM 3A2 , this one is probably a F-12 coin but worth 5-10 times what a comparable Hot Lips coin would be. Wear prevents seeing the clashing on most areas of this coin, but the crack pattern matches... I hope I got this one right !

Happy Hunting !
