coffeegod Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 12:09 pm Someone posted on this forum a resource site called "The Lincoln Cent Resource". This is an awsome site. Is there one like it for Dimes, Nickels, Quarts, etc? Report this Post to the Staff

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 12:26 pm I haven't found a similar site for other coin denominations, but I wish I could. I'm interested in the responses to this question. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 12:33 pm There isn't that I know of...yet. I am the owner and developer of https://www.coppercoins.com - within two years I hope to spread the idea to other denominations, but haven't had the time to do it yet. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 1:40 pm What is a WAM You will find more resources for Lincoln cents since that is usually the first coin a new collector starts with. Another thing helping Lincolns is the fact that there have been more of them minted than any other coin in the history of the world so they are plentiful and easy to study. coin-specific sites for other coins are hard to come by. I do know of a few though- http://www.smalldollars.com/ http://www.vamworld.com/ http://indiancent.wikispaces.com/ http://www.buffalonickel.com/dievarieties.html Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 1:52 pm I think what he is refering to is VAMs but Vams are specific to Morgan and Peace dollars. Vams are a method of identifying varieties by identifiers specific to an individual die. The closest to that on cents is what is extensively listed on coppercoins site. The site lists thousands of Repunched Mint Matks (rpm's)and Double Die Obverse and Double Die Reverse ( DDO & DDR) Hope this helps Richard Report this Post to the Staff
