villagekid Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 7:45 pm This is one I'm stumped trying to validate. It appears it has some of the markers needed to classify as a VAM. I'm leaning towards V6 or V46 mainly because of the Trust possibly being Tiust. There's something going on with the date as well with the (7and9) The 7 looks as though it has fangs below the serifs and the 9 possibly open. I'm definitely not an expert in Vams but hopefully some of you experts can chime in and give some prudence to it at least being a VAM or can nail it down to a particular VAM. Any assistance is greatly appreciated....Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 9:26 pm I'm seeing too much of the upper serif of the r to be 6 or 46. This segment can be tough to attribute and I'm certainly not an expert.... Possibly V35? Edited by dave700x 09/25/2020 9:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 09/26/2020 12:44 pm All Morgans are VAMs. A VAM is a specific die pairing. Also what Dave said. the 79-S R78 is tough to ID. Report this Post to the Staff

To me...they are a very busy coin...too many things going on...I try to attribute them and lose interest and end up putting them in a 2x2 flip saying I'll look later. My kids will probably sell them for melt when I'm dead because I don't see myself getting to them any time soon...lol Check out vamworld.com smat Report this Post to the Staff
