Great find!

What is VAM an acronym for?


A VAM pertains to Morgan dollars and Peace dollars. When talking varieties of these coins they are called VAMs.

I believe the acronym, VAM, itself is a combination of the last names of Leroy Van Allen and A George Mallis. These two published a book about VAMS almost 50 years ago.

I believe Crazybo meant to type WAM and accidentally typed VAM.

Hi everyone. I found a 1999 Wide AM. I wanted to know if I have to send it away for grading in order to sell it.

No, but depending on the coins condition it might bring more money graded. It wuld also be easier to sell because there are a lot of people out there that have no idea what they are buying and they depend on the slab label to tell them what it is.

Hi Jonna, You could post a picture here, and we'll confirm the find for you. I haven't sent out my find to be graded yet either. I'm just giving it an acetone dip and stashing it away in an Air-Tite for now.
