zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 01:17 am Yes, I agree Bryan, I like it because of the main feature..... I remember seeing something a good while back that the owner (I think that it was coxe) called the drooling eagle... I didn't know much at the time, but looking back on it now, it was probably just PMD as I recall the drool extending straight down out of the beak halfway to the eagle's chest. I also remember something about an "impaled eagle" that seemed to be more myth than fact as it sold on ebay for $1800 or more and then turned out to be PMD rather than the Holy Grail. Maybe it is the nicknames given to these coins that sparks the interest factor? Report this Post to the Staff
Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 1:08 pm It is estimated that sixty percent of the extant remaining mintage of 1891-CC is VAM 3 Spitting Eagle. The VAM 3 Spitting Eagle is a top 100 coin. It is also considered a 'gateway' coin that is used to entice people into the VAM hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5618 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 1:30 pm Zee, I do know of an "impaled eagle" VAM 1F, only an 1887-P , I have NOT heard of any others, but that does not mean there are none...... Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 1:43 pm The coin I mention is 1880-O VAM 2A Mike..... Interesting stuff. Interesting in that it had the experts fooled for a long, long time.... ebay bidding was spirited and it took several of experts to get the bidding up that high on a coin in such condition... I'm no 'expert', but even I could tell what that impalement is... there are similar coins on ebay right now starting at around $60k.... If the price was just a little bit lower, it might go.

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 01/10/2011 2:19 pm Very true Zee..in fact his price seems to increase monthly as no one buys his coin... I think they're reaching and praying hard! FOR A REAL SUCKER Report this Post to the Staff
