I think that I have found a couple more in my collection, but would like a more experienced opinion. Is this an 1881-O VAM #3? Is this an 1883 VAM #14? Report this Post to the Staff

And if the date is slanted it could also be a VAM-13 Edited by Bryan1315 07/11/2006 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Wudaya think, VAM-14? Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/11/2006 7:08 pm hmmm, maybe.....but......the one in the picture looks like it is a closed "5" and yours is open. Of course it doesn't mention in the book that it is closed so you are probably right because it seems to me they wqould have mentioned it was closed if it was Report this Post to the Staff

You gotta remember that I am new to all this VAM stuff so there is a good possibility that I am mistaken. Report this Post to the Staff
