The second one I would need larger photo of the rev as well as Obverse. It is not the Vam-2ae as the die is the die and the crack is not the same.

Well it is a B1 Reverse and I can't find a match for this one with the break. It looks much like this one with what looks to be a start of a Retained Cud. This could be a "send to Leroy Van Allen coin" but I would wait for other opinions. The break is much like this one below but this is a different reverse die.  |

Does anyone have more opinions or thoughts about the VAM? I do live in sweden, what does "seding it to Leroy Van Allen" mean? Is a picture enough? If I got a unique strike, I wouldn't want to ship it over seas just like that |

I can't match it up. If it is to be a New VAM. Leroy Van Allen is the only person that can give it a VAM number, he will only do so if he has the coin in hand. No photo ID's, Van Allen wrote the Morgan and Peace dollar Encyclopedia Edited by twohawks

How would I go on about doing that?
Googled him and haven't found an actual address to the fellow.
Does he neede a heads up or can someone just send him the coin with a letter explaining it?
Does he charge anything for the service?
Has anyone in here sent him a coin before?
thanks in advance

Hey Spikur- I recommend you go check out www.vamworld.com - make a post there about "thinking about sending to leroy" and I'm sure them guys will set you straight .. TWOHAWKS - and Several other I know on there are constantly sending coins over ... I would trust leroy 100% with ANY and ALL of my coins if I had the itch to send it to him - But again I recommend going to Vamworld and on the message board ask them guys .. A big group of them will be able to explain it better then I could .. Best of Luck - Hope you do have something new here .. Phil |

Thanks a bunch tatt...as a newbie I didn't really have the guts to enter the world of vamworld... the cost isn't really an issue here, It would just be cool to find a new VAM...I'll try there, thanks epikur |
