Do coins with VAM's offer any premium? This is an MS63 with a very early green label. Thanks for your insight. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 10:51 am Without the IT die chip it is considered VAM-2 and according to the listing commands less premium than the VAM-2B. There is one example that looks like the same die state as your coin in the SSDC registry that has been attributed by VSS as a VAM-2. Certain VAMs command a small premium and some command a very large premium. It all depends on population and desirability. The ratio of value added VAMs to non value added is very small.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 11:06 am They are different die events on the same dies. A progression of the dies aging process. (reason I never got into these) I collect die varieties, not die events. Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2221 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 1:27 pm Nice coin! It's fun to collect VAM numbers. But typically they don't bring significant higher prices unless they are in special lists like Top 100, Elite Clashed Morgan dollars, Hot 50, etc. the more popular ones and in high grade.
