OMG! From the descriptions here, it appears that I am guilty. Five years ago I had two Morgan and one Peace dollar. One Morgan turned out to be a B-1 reverse that took me hours to finally attribute as a VAM 82. Fast forward to today ... Now over 400 Morgans and over half of those are 1878. I come home from work and log onto ebay and see the new 1878 listings for the day. Half way through the wife calls me to supper. After the meal it's back to the Bay to finish the 78's and move to the 80's. I must admit it's alot faster than it used to be. With decent pictures I can attribute most with a quick glance at the obverse and reverse. If I have the time I move to 1888's, 1891-O, 1900-O, 1921-D or 1934-D. I do this every night of the week except Sunday. The grandkids are here until about 7pm so no surfing til late. This is my winter routine and will change slightly when it warms up and outdoor activities are available. I don't post as much on the forums (CCF and VAMWorld) as others, but I am always watching. What does all of this mean ... I HAVE NO LIFE!  |

OMG, I guess I'll never qualify then, I spend three hours a day just trying to remember what I've forgotten.  |

You might be a serious vammer if you spend more than fours hours a day studying and looking for specific vams for your collection.

You just might be a serious vammer if you have a new Catia 3-D computer that allows one to tilt and project light at different angles, just like one could if you had a coin in hand...

How could a computer capable of running Catia be wrong?

You might be a serious Vammer if you take things more serious than they need to be......

Have you used Catia Dave? It is dauntingly complex until a person gets used to it, but is an awesome program once the capabilities are realized..... similar to the earlier Solid Works programs, (but better).

No, I've never used it, but it has the reputation of the best of the breed among those I know who do use such stuff. Then again, for a minimum $15k price of admission, it had better. I wonder what it could do with an accurately-enough scanned Morgan dollar; imagine visualizing die scratches in 3D.... |

I don't think that I paid anywhere near that, maybe, but I kinda doubt it..... but then, I know people.. I really don't know what it could do with just scans beyond basic dimensional readouts to unimaginable tolerances (and maybe some neat images).... I have never tried to input a scan. |

Wow! All of the above and more. By the way, thanks to all of you serious vammers who continually assist us with identifying and learning our ways around the VAMs.
