I thought some folks might find this useful If not I'm more than happy to stop whenever it becomes to tiresome...

Vamming can be challenging and yet loads of fun. Vamworld.com is an amazing reference for determining what your Morgan and Peace dollar Vams are. I will be listing my 1921 Morgans first, one at a time. I will state up front what I believe the VAM to be knowing full well that I probably will be corrected and that is what I'll get out of this practice. See if you can determine what the VAM is for each of the coins that get listed. I will only do one or two a week depending on response.

First up: 1921-P Graded by PCGS as MS-63, I have it vammed as a VAM-71

VAMming tiresome? Never!

I concur and it appears to be a slightly later die state.

But looking at your posts and researching the subject coin is VAMming. Heck, whenever I'm looking at Morgan dollars I'm VAMming. I'm looking for die markers before I decide on a grade...

Well, the VAM decides whether or not the grade is important, after all.
