I think I may have found a '26 VAM 2 DDR Top 50. I'll post is later for VAM confirmation and grade...

Anyhow, when I checked ebay for comparative purposes I saw this same coin for sale having an R-4 designation.

The main questions I have are:

1) Did the seller of this ebay coin make up this R-4 designation?

2) Or if this R-4 is correct, where can anyone find this particular R-4 written on-line for this coin?

3) Is there an all-inclusive list for ALL Peace and Morgan VAMs that is periodically updated to reflect recent finds in different VAM grades?

On the VAM world page there is an "interest" scale of 1-5 "I-x" and a "rarity" scale of 1-8 "R-x"

When Leroy assigns a new VAM he estimates the rarity and interest of the die pairing. Some times he's way off and sometimes spot on as its basically an educated guess and then, in future years, more can be found lowering rarity or none will be increasing rarity but the numbers aren't really updated. It's a guide only at this point to be taken.with a grain of salt in most cases

Actually the Interest rating scale goes from I-1 to I-5.
