That is a very good question. If a filled die can be a VAM, I don't see why a die crack can't be as well. We'll keep our fingers crossed. |

Yes, it is a VAM. The folks here will need pictures in order to identify it for you though. |

Absent any other information, look at VAM 13. |

Stevan, there is a round glass part on the camera, (place your coin in front of that glass). Sometimes there is a round plastic thing covering the glass, (remove that, to expose the glass). On top of the camera, there is a little button of sorts, push down on that (and see what happens). We will await your results.

Unless a die crack has evolved into a die break, by it self it will not earn a VAM, however, it can be very useful in pin pointing the VAM.. |

Just so you know... ALL "real" Morgan and Peace dollars are VAMs... Is it a listed VAM? Are the attributes you are looking at listable? Do you have something... "special"? we need pics to confirm... But, yes its a VAM as ALL "real" Morgans and Peace dollars are regardless what you see on them. |

Without seeing the coin, I am inclined to think VAM 13 die state 5 (LDS) late die state |

 without seeing a coin. I know we can VAM it before you list it  Just kidding..many times, some of the more OBVIOUS interesting things about the coin, are not the points that determine the VAM... But WE CAN HELP....so don't give up...help us help you.. |
