cool, I do remember the coin in question. One thing if it were a Hot50 or Top100 ANACS would have labeled it as such on the holder. If they did do that then I am wrong about it not being either, but if it doesn't have that on the label then it is neither. I am glad you got the upgrade though, that is atleast one good thing that happened with having it rechecked, and even if its not one of the Hot50 or Top100 coins if you have 2 people trying to complete a CC
VAM set the price still may go up considerably from the base price of the coin.
VAM's are one part of collecting where there is no real guide to go by as far as price goes, I had my eye on a 1878 MS-64PL VAM-43 that was unattributed in a old green PCGS holder in a teletrade auction Sunday and every price guide and past sales I saw said it should be about a 600.00 coin, it is one I have been searching for for awhile so I watched it (teletrade had past sales of 1878 64pl sales at 400.00 as the highest sold) and figured if I was the only one who noticed it was this specific
VAM it could be a HUGE rip (wishful thinking) in the first hour the price was up to 550.00 which superseded my initial bid of 525.00, so I bid up to 675.00 (75.00 higher than any price guide or any past sales of a coin in this grade had sold for in the past) and up until the last 10 seconds the price had went up to my price of 675.00, well within the last 10 seconds it went up to 775.00 and that is what it sold for, so if you have atleast 2 people interested in the same coin the bidding can get fierce
