I thought so. Me, too.



Oh Man! I am up sometimes 4 or 5 in the morning looking through ebay/teletrade/heritage trying to spot different VAM's. I have been a member here since 03/01/2006 and I think I received my encyclopedia of morgan and Peace dollars a week or so after that and I haven't looked back since

I have been trying not to get into the VAM designations. I'm obsessed enough with regular Morgans. I find the VAM's a little overwhelming.Your not going to drag me into this one Bryan......I hope.....

ahh come on, if you just collect morgans it can get a little boring, but if you collect VAM's its an exciting new world, especially when you see one that no one else has discovered. I have about 6 1878-P Morgans that need to be sent to Mr. Van Allen for attribution because I have never seen them listed in any attribution guides.

Well, I am starting to notice the VAM's more. I bought a 1883-0 NGC MS64 the other day that wasen't designated a VAM but it was definatly a "clashed die" coin. It was very plain to see.

yeah thats what I do all the time, I search for unattrubuted VAM's. Just remember just because its a VAM doesn't mean then Grading companies attribute it on the slab. ANACS is the only one that attributes all known VAM's and PCGS and NGC just attributes a small amount of them
