Mark Stilson Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Have you checked for vam on the morgan yet? looks like one of the slanted dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure it is one of the slanted near dates. I can't make out if there is any doubling on the reverse though. If you want to drop a couple more pic's of it out of the flip in the errors section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 That would just make my night!! I'm going to have to see what I can come up with for pictures. May need to grab my fiancees digital camera. how much does a slanted date go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 It does appear to be one of the dates thats slanted... I cant make out which one either... but I agree with mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 The slanted dates don't have a premium on them as far as I know. But I think it is always best to check. A vam 18 very near date would be the monster pick up for 1896. But thats because its a Proof morgan. Even the ones listed as Top 100 or Hot 50 may not carry much premium. Most do carry at least a small premium, some though can be monsters. BTW if you want you could place the shots of the slanted date on vamworld since they are missing the pictures. Also just a note. Even slabbed coins may not be ID'ed. I have both PCGS and NGC slabs hot 100 vams what aren't ID'ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Still that's pretty cool. I'm trying to get my fiancees camera so I can get better pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 They assign rarity values to them. The higher the better. A standard VAM 1 is a R-2, a VAM 12 is a R-3, VAM 23 is a R-4. So yours is rarer then the garden variety one no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
