Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 12:46 pm NOTE; Before anyone posts NEGATIVE comments about this 1879s Morgan being cleaned at some point in it's past, I already know that, and that's why it was in the silver pile (paid $8 in 2001)... The only reason I posted it here is that I checked VAM World and believe it to be a vam-30, and I would like a honest answer from someone that knows vams to advise if it is worth being placed in a ANACS problem coin holder, with the VAM #, or would I be putting good money into bad and place it back in the silver pile and unload it when spot hits $50...

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 12:53 pm I would also like to THANK Twohawks1 for all the help in ID'ing all the VAMs on my sisters late husbands Morgans (I could have never done it on my own)... Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 1:53 pm To me it looks like S/S set high and to the right. There is not a photo for the S/S placement for VAM30 and the descriptions of the position seems to be a bit confusing. I agree that the description of the S/S features match your coin. I don't see any other S/S photos that match the position of yours, however. Hopefully one of the VAM gurus can identify this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/27/2012 12:02 pm Thanks, after receiving help from this forum in ID'ing my sister's late husbands Morgan collection for VAMs, I thought I would go through the Silver Dollars that has sat in the closet for about 10 years and take a closer look... All my posts yesterday are coins that I purchased 10+ years ago for between $8.00 and $10.00 each (just above the going rate back then)and posted what may be VAMs... Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/27/2012 12:14 pm Most VAMs are not worth the extra expense of grading/attributing unless it happens to be a Top 100, etc VAM, i.e. a value-added VAM. Report this Post to the Staff
