Just printed out the VAMVIEW 2008 Retail Price Index (July 2008) which is made available to members of SSDC and is for correctly identified and certified coins. The
VAM market is alive and well, with some of them making outstanding gains (the R6 and R7 coins). So do your homework, learn about what your searching for and have more knowledge then the seller or dealer on these varieties when you do run across them. There are still plenty of good coins out there waiting for someone to find them, someone who is prepared and stands on their own will do well. Remember if your always asking others, it means you haven't read the book!!
