1883 CC GSA Morgan VAM 3

13 posts in this topic

I found this Morgan at a local auction awhile back and noted that it was a VAM 3 and was able to pick it up for an attractive price. I have not had this coin graded but would be interested in your opinions.

 

Thanks,

 

Rey

That is a very nice looking Morgan there Rey! I'm gonna go with MS63 possibly 64 if the pics are making things look worse than they are. I think it would have gotten close to PL if the Obv would have been more cameo also.

Since it is in a GSA holder, I'm going to say MS64. I don't know about the VAM3 designation. I don't see the vertical lines (from cleaning the die) inside and along the ear and inside the mintmark, and there are clash marks on both obverse and reverse which I don't think are evident on the VAM3. It could be 3A or 4A.

MS64PL

 

I think the incandescent lighting is throwing off some of its PL surfaces

As an example see the second picture

 

 

Nice Coin

thank you everyone, actually I did mis speak, it is a VAM 3A as noted above by Chris. The lighting did affect the images. I only have a few GSAs and will be using my most recent free grading coupon to take care of these.

 

Thanks,
