jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 8:11 pm How do you tell the difference in Early Die State vs. Later Die State? Referring to 1882 O/S Morgan. RedBook has the EDS at astronomical prices. Unknown in UNC, it is at $3500 in AU vs $50 for the LDS. I have a partially weakly struck one that is 58 or UNC+. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 8:46 pm OK according to the VAM book the EDS has a triangular dot at left side of loop opening and as a fine line in the middle. Now I have no idea what "loop" its refering to unless its the MM loop but that is just a guess. here is mine, if anyone knows if it is a EDS I would love to know Edited by Bryan1315 09/05/2006 8:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The EDS versions have less detail, almost like a developing die break. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 9:08 pm NGC has graded in EDS VAM-3 O/S= 1-MS-61,1-MS-62,1-MS-63 VAM-4 O/S= 1-MS-63 VAM-5 O/S= 2-MS-60,1-MS-61,1-MS-62,1-MS-63 So they are known in EDS in MS grades Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 9:37 pm VAM 4 is the one that carries the big premium for EDS. 3 & 5 are anywhere from 2-5 times the value, depending on grades. I wonder what the MS63 vam4 would sell for... Edited by jdheyne 09/05/2006 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
