CoinWorld - One of the Morgan dollar varieties I highlighted during an education forum at Florida United Numismatists convention in January was the VAM-9 1883 dollar.

The VAM-9 variety of 1883 Morgan dollar was originally discovered in 1978 by Oscar Simpson, and afterwards listed in the Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace dollars by Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis.

The variety is similar to, and sometimes mistaken for the VAM-10 1883 Morgan dollar, which is far better known due to its inclusion in The Top 100 Morgan dollar Varieties: The VAM Keys by Michael Fey and Jeff Oxman. Specialists looking for one variety among unattributed dollars may run into the other, and would consider either a great find.

Nice writup by John about the mimic. But where was CCF Press a few months ago when he wrote about one of my discoveries? Just kidding. Hope this continues with CCF Press linking John's CW VAM articles to the VAM sub-forum here

For referance to those that didn't seen it...
