lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 5:13 pm I think I now have to go to the VAM area because I don't know what that is! Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 5:13 pm from what I can tell it looks like a VAM-2 with Open "9" but didn't really look to well and this will at least give you a place to start and see if it is a VAM-2 but I don't know the 79's that well. I just don't see anything else in the picture to look for like doubling or anything Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/16/2010 5:28 pm Many years ago, Leroy Van Allen & A. George Mallis (" VAM") cataloged over 2000 die varieties of Morgan and Peace dollars. As a result, many folks now collect die variety as well as date and mintmark. Some rare ones can be super valuable. Report this Post to the Staff
