Hey all, really new to collecting coins, even newer to Morgan’s. A few weeks ago I scored so decent looking Morgan’s from a pawnshop. Just now taking a closer look, and think I have som with VAM designation?
(Edit)
What I think I have it narrowed down to
1900-O VAM 23C?
1899-O VAM 25B?
Also do would these be worth the effort to have graded??
2024-Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray I think I have found a possible die chip or cud? It looks raised to me not like a gouge or scratch or dent. Or I’m completely wrong.
I attempted to take a few zoomed in photo with lighting from different directions
Any suggestions on how to take better photos? Or how to identify errors better double greatly appreciated.
Is there any reason to keep these bars in original plastic packaging? Thinking about moving them to silver bar capsules?
Back story. I inherited these from my grandfather and some 90% silver us coins.
Stopped at my local pawn shop to check for any new arrivals. And picked up these beauties.
1 oz. Engelhard American prospector. 1982
1 oz. American Silver Eagles x2. 2018
Got each of them at a spot price of 57.
Stopped at my CRH “dump bank for quarters” to cash a check, and asked if they had any half dollars they would like to get rid of. They said yes only a few rolls though. I gladly said I’ll take them all. So out of a $100 in half dollars I found 8 - 1968 D 40% Kennedys. All in the same customer wrapped roll.
Stopped by a local pawn shop today while silver was down, and found what looks like pop pops coin collection in the display case. These Morgan’s caught my eye because of the condition and toning. Picked up for $47 a piece. Not too bad in my opinion. less
Would the be considered a double die coin, or am I just seeing really crisp edges on this coin
