ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 2:22 pm Here's three more. I am just going through my set year by year. Are there any particular dates that stand a better chance of being a recognizable VAM? 1884 1884-O 1884-S Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 2:31 pm ok on your 1880-O will you put it under the miscrscope right there at the base of where the neck meets the chin, if that isn't a scratch then its a clash (that is one major giveaway for clashes on Morgans) and once you get that picture up we will have to examine the reverse and obverse parts closely to see what other parts are clashed Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 2:35 pm The two that stands out in my mind that has the MOST VAM's are 1878-P (which has well over 150) and 1921 (which has about as many). But every date has VAM's every last one of them and every mint mark has them as well. Another thing, just because I dont see anything doesn't mean nothing is there, there are 253 pages of just morgan VAM's in the book and probably 300 more VAM's that arent in the book on the update list Edited by Bryan1315 07/03/2006 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Now I have to get a VAM book of my own!! [:p]I was thinking last night that I may have some VAMs that wouldn't be able to be attributed by my dark pictures. Now I won't be able to sleep at night until I scrutinize every last one of them suckers!! Thanks alot Bryan!!!! Seriously, I do appreciate it, nothing like a new path to wander. I'll get closer pics of the 1880-O and see what you see. (If it turns out to be a VAM, we'll have to keep it a secret. I just bought it off of Crystalk64 unattributed.-----I wonder if he's eavesdroppin'?.....[:0]) Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 3:12 pm here is a picture showing the marks I am refering to, if you can zero in right here we should be able to tell if its clashing or just a scratch Report this Post to the Staff
ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 3:26 pm Just a scratch. Doesn't matter much though, the 1882 O/S has gotten me excited enough to go buy the book. (that's all I need, ANOTHER book!!) Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 3:35 pm the VAM book is a thicken also. When you get one be sure you get the fourth edition of the comprehensive catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace dollars by Leroy Van Allen & George Mallis Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 3:39 pm aight I like looking through 1878's I can spot one of them easier than the O/S you had. you know if you have any 1921's you will pull SuperDave and MorganMan and MorganFred out of the woodwork Edited by Bryan1315 07/03/2006 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 8:13 pm I posted better pics of the 1882 O/S in the Grading Forum if anyone would care to lend an opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Be aware, though - the book only covers up to 1992; every VAM discovery since (three thousand plus) is archived elsewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
ndgoflo Pillar of the Community United States 626 Posts	Posted 07/03/2006 8:28 pm Yeah, it's the 4th Ed. printed 2004. There have been 3000 more discoveries since then? WOW!! Where are the new discoveries listed at? Report this Post to the Staff
