regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 07/13/2012 7:53 pm I have a 82 O/S Morgan that has been stored away for many years. I just recently sent it with a few other coins from my small collection to get graded. I didn't expect anything other than a grade. It came back as AU 53 VAM 3 Top 100. After doing a little research on it, and not knowing much about VAMS, my question is are all 82 O/S considered VAMS? I think that the Top 100 refers to the most popular VAMS collected. Any information will be helpful Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

That would make it a VAM3A. A little more desirable in my opinion. You will want to check out VAMworld but I warn you, be careful as it is addicting. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 11:39 am I do believe all 82 O/S are TOP100 VAM's so it wouldn't matter which one it was in that respect but I do believe one is rarer than the other two and is worth a little more also. My first submission to NGC was a 1882 O/S VAM-4 that I wasn't even sure what the term VAM meant as it was a kind of new word to me that I had not researched at the time. NGC actually out the VAM on the label even though I didn't pay for it (as I didn't know what it meant in the variety section I just put O/S) and even though they did I still didn't even look up the term VAM until I saw the term on a 1878 Morgan about a year later Report this Post to the Staff

The fully-developed slash is a much more common coin than the early die state, where that slash is just partially there. The EDS version carries a bit of a premium at retail.
