Which version do you have?
For the cheapest way to own an 1896 S Morgan Dollar, purchase the Standard version at $95. The VAM-5 version at $71 offers no tangible benefits like unique editions or packaging over the Standard, as the price difference is not reflective of scarcity here. If your goal is simply ownership, buy the Standard. If you are chasing a graded premium, the VAM-5 is not the value proposition it appears to be.
