I examined a few of my (junk silver) morgans today and I found this 1891-O with the die clashed E. It is heavily worn and harshly cleaned but I was still excited to find my first cherrypick of my own mediocre collection.

I also have this 1882-S that shows some possible doubling of the date, What does everyone else think? Is it die doubled or just machine doubled?

Be very careful Jon, Vamming can also be very addictive.

I found a 1934-D Peace dollar VAM in my collection this morning. I dont remember the VAM number but it's the doubled die obverse varitey. It would probably only grade VF-30 or so but I was excited to find it.

G'Day all,JON nearly all of my VAM's were just coins that I brought for the year slabbed or raw not knowing that they were VAM's,
what a nice surprise when they turn out to be VAM's and some are in the top 100,50 or even top 40
addictive very much so
regards Harry

I agree vamming can be addictive. I found some of mine in coins purchased off of ebay. You can go to https://www.vamworld.com to check discription,pictures & attributes of various vams. Have fun with it. Hope this info. is of some use.
