I was hoping you all could take a look at this Morgan and confirm what he is saying. Thanks

looks like it with the understanding that far and near date are not my strong point. Gene may show up he is solid on the near/normal/far date's

Near/Far dates tend to waver between individual VAMs, although anything at 2.0 denticles (such as this coin) is definitely going to be considered a Near Date. I believe he's got the attribution right. Looks like the poor guy's been bitten by the VAM bug - he's attributing just about every Morgan he's selling whether it carries a premium or not.

I feel his pain.

Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. I thought that was the name of the game - attribute them all.

While looking at his listings thats the same thing I was thinking. I am thinking about making him an offer so I was wondering what, if any, impact the VAM would make on it.

Anyhow, I offered him $28.00 with free shipping and he accepted it. After I paid for it I saw this e-mail from him....

Hello,
VAM-9 doubled 18 strong
A rarer coin than VAM-7
Regards,
Darryl

I don't know alot about VAM's so I don't know if it is or isn't. Anyway, it's mine.

I agree with SD, its near date...the VAM 7 is a very common coin, and the VAM 9 is about the same in general....for the money I think you did very well!!Gene
