Good to see you back ! That 86-S VAM 2 is an awesome find, I've bought a handful of raws trying to get one...yet still no joy. I think more people are VAM hunting nowadays, cutting cherry picking opportunities. Good luck with the crossovers. 🤞
Yeah I’ve had a very busy summer. Been feeling guilty to not post. I’m still busy but I had an opportunity to get this one out this weekend and took it. I used to find vams on eBay rolls but they’re too well searched now. Best bet is to find private collections now but it’s getting harder and harder too. Plus it isn’t cheap to purchase collections.
Rocky is my coin geek hero. Spending money on his hobby is not a major concern for him. It's good to be hobby wealthy. He's a man of his word moving to ANACS for the bulk of his coin grading needs after bring subjected to PCGS's arrogant abuses. Too bad the PCGS coin registry and high end coin grading realities still has him sucking off the tit of PCGS for those services. But you still da' man, Rocky!
Depends on the coin. The Kennedy I’ll probably require same grade cuz if they drop me a grade it isn’t worth much. Better to have a higher graded ANACS in my opinion. The Morgan if it gets dropped a grade it’s still worth quite a bit.
@@JBD-cx9sf yes I have some videos and I will have several coming up. I just haven’t edited them yet. I used to do a lot of Franklin proof sets. Here’s a link to one: Beautiful! Opened a sealed 1952 Proof set to Reveal this Gem Coin for my coin collection th-cam.com/video/8o_ScmwW3yw/w-d-xo.html

The 1885 is definitely cleaned, when rotated in the light and the surface goes dark... always a sign of cleaning, don't even need to look for lines!
That’s because it was a mirrored field before it got scratched up from time. Prolly would have been a PL or DMPL
New sub here. New to coin collecting
Thanks!
Do you have a value threshold where you decide to try to cross, or is it simply if you need it for your registry?
A lot of it is just for my registry. But usually I’d like it to be around $150-$200 minimum.
Where do you get all these rare Morgan VAM's ?
I started by buying rolls off eBay but then they started searching them better. Now I buy collections from people

I basically use ANACS as my filter. I hardly send anything to PCGS anymore. Only if I need it in my registry or it’s a more valuable coin. Thanks! 🫡
I bet he works hard for his 💰and 🪙 s
Cross to PCGS at any grade, or the minimum ANACS grade?
Depends on the coin. The Kennedy I’ll probably require same grade cuz if they drop me a grade it isn’t worth much. Better to have a higher graded ANACS in my opinion. The Morgan if it gets dropped a grade it’s still worth quite a bit.
Do you ever do any content with Franklin Half Dollars?

Can anyone send coins in to be graded? Do you have to go through a dealer?
@@markandroes537 anyone can. PCGS and NGC you need a membership but ANACS you don’t
How could I buy some if you want to sell them ?
Sorry I’m a collector
Ezest brings out the chatter. Why use it?
I don’t use it in every case. I’m more fond of MS70 but it depends on the coin and whatever it is I want cleaned off
