Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/17/2012 07:14 am Ok so I might be getting interested in VAMs.... @ SuperDave: It took me a while... but now the VAM 11 you pointed out to me is really obvious. As for this 1878, the die chip on the nose is a VAM-2a correct? What about the clash on the "O" on the reverse, is that anything? is that even a clash? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/17/2012 10:01 pm Ok, so would I be correct in saying VAM 11 and VAM 2a are two of the easier VAMs to spot? Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, by comparison to the thousands of known VAMs. They both have "smoking gun" attributes which make the job easy. There are a few hundred (I'm guessing) which are this easy.
