florida352 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 1:06 pm I am new to this "vamming" and have only recently began searching my morgans. I have found an 1882-p VAM 28, early die state (misplaced 8 in denticles, dot 2, gouges near stars 1&2). My only resource has been the vamworld website and it states that there are only 3 of this "extremely elusive EDS" known. Its an I-3, r-6. I have not been able to find any more information on tis variety other than the limited info on that webpage. The coin is currently raw but I suspect it would grade at least high au, possibly ms but maybe I'm just hoping :). Does anyone have any iidea what this "extremely elusive" variety would sell for?

florida352 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 5:36 pm Well that's a disappointing figure! "Extremely elusive" variety doesn't necessarilly equate to dollars I suppose. I have been enjoying going through my morgans and determining the VAM but if a coin like that would carry a heavy premium I would definately consider selling it and buying a rarer date or something as the VAM attribution does not mean that much to me. I was considering having it slabbed but obviously it wouldn't be worth it. Maybe that's why there's only 3 known examples? Its not worth getting it slabbed? Thanks for the feedback, if anyone else has anything else to add please let me know! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

The enthusiasm of those who do VAMming tends to mask the fact that they're a pretty small minority among Morgan collectors. Yes, that number is increasing daily, but the number of people who are dedicated to acquiring as many VAM numbers as possible, across all dates, can probably be counted on your fingers and toes. Don't forget, that amounts to thousands of coins. And as rare as it is, your coin isn't in a high-demand class like 1878's, E clashes and the like. Report this Post to the Staff
