I have been watching this thing with anticipation for awhile and finally tonight my wait is over! I was happy to get this thing at this price because about 4 years ago I paid over $300.00 for one just like it unattributed http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWNX:IT |

I probably should have waited to even post this until I had confirmation of shipping but got a little excited to see I had won. I guess I just have to much love for 1878 morgans

I think you're referring to a possible VAM right? |

well as I said, I probably shouldn't have posted this thread until I knew the coin was shipped just in case the seller visits this forum but in my haste I did and already had a reply so wasn't going to just delete it. As soon as I get this confirmation I will post all information to all of those who are wondering

I am happy for you as you now finish your set again.
Sometimes we don't value things until we no longer have them. Congratulations to you.

I think that you are quite safe with this seller Bryan (despite the early bugle blowing).  Right at a week ago when you mentioned the disappointment of the one that got away at $365,  I thought to myself; 'well, at that price I am rather glad for him that it 'did' get away, there will be another, more reasonably priced coin. This is a very nice looking coin here.  I am very happy for you now. (I 'have' learned not to share any secrets with 'you' though).  Edited by zeewool

Bryan1315 Bryan, very nice snag on that piece!  You certainly are right, those don't come around very often especially for that price. I think the economy is going to make for many more additional fantastic opportunities! |

Sometimes I will bid on the high side on specific coins to try to assure I get them and if I am out bid well I am fine with it, even though I would have liked to have had it, not at that price |

Oh. Wow. Top Pop, if it is, and you're back in #1 on the Registry. |

alright I have received tracking information from this item but first of all I want to apologize for jumping the gun and posting this without being able to really indulge all the information on why I got so excited. This is a VAM-70 which is a top-100 coin (the only Top-100 coin in the 7Tf B1 reverse series) as was noted above this is a Top pop coin in this condition for this specific VAM so I got really excited to win this auction. Also noted above even though I will have to send some of my coins in for attribution to their respective grading companies before this happens, this is the one I needed to bring my #2 registry set back in the #1 position. here is enlarged pictures from the auction and if you look closely you can see the doubling on the bottom of RIB in PLURIBUS along with the die chips and other attributes which make this a VAM-70  |

Actually, the doubling isn't as obvious in the pics as I expected. It was the chips, particularly the one below the nose, that made it obvious for me. That qualifies as a great cherrypick. |
