Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 677 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 12:54 pm This Morgan silver dollar has a whole lot of issues. The reverse looks MD to me and it is also plague with some sort of gooey material, not sure how I'm gonna get rid of that. The mint mark is oval, is this a VAM? Thanks in advanced.

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 49422 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 1:40 pm Did you check the VAM site? Maybe 100% pure acetone on the gooey material? John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 677 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 2:59 pm @John1...I did check the VAM site, but I was not sure if this coin is a VAM because of the oval O, or it has to have those different varieties as described. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 2575 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 4:48 pm I don't think that's an oval-O. Most of those MM were set higher Look at the center of the O and consider that it may have taken a hit as well. Check out VAM-3 and see what you think. It's a little hard to tell, but the date looks similar. Try a long acetone soak for possible removal of the "goo."

Earle42 Pillar of the Community United States 8900 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 9:43 pm Acetone - many times it takes a less than a minute, but you cannot possibly hurt the coin with it being in the acetone longer. Just put it in something covered so the acetone will not all evaporate. I use a baby food jar. I would be surprised if it took a couple of minutes.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 3315 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 8:53 pm If you are going to get into VAMming, you need to do some studying first. I personally, would suggest more basic coin study before jumping in the deep end but if this is what you want, start here.
