Yep, VamWorld is my one-stop shop for VAM info right now. I *just now* saw the page listing values. That helped since I'm not going to look for every last variation described-- just the ones that may connote added value and those can be set apart from the bulk sale pile until further study. My strategy so far has been to look at the VAM listings by year, click on pictures/info for VAMS recognized by PCGS and the others, skipping the rest. That is speeding things up. My USB camera and computer setup is giving me fits. I just switched to Mac and so there are the usual problems with that, plus the USB scope pictures show up as mirror images, making it just a little harder to position and interpret. Not hugely so, but with the volume of VAMs and coins each few seconds adds up :/
Clearly there's no way I will be able to finish inspecting each Morgan and Peace for valuable VAMs today. New plan. Going to take those with me and work on it at a more leisurely pace. Well... maybe I'll just look at a few more before moving on to the next coin task, lol.
As I've said before, we will keep some. We've sold most of the gold (wasn't that much) and will sell the common silver. I'm hanging on to any interesting or valuable coins, some for slabbing and then selling, some to just keep.
