A Hello And An Introduction!

I used to make a living traveling to major shows, picking VAM's, and other varieties... long before they were popular. The old timer's thought I was nuts.... but it was great getting paid for what I loved to do! I know Jeff Oxman, and Dr. Fey (wrote the top 100 VAM book) If there is a new VAM, or a tricky question, I can always shoot it out to them... Have fun, this is a great hobby.

Welcome to the family, This is an excellent group of fellow collectors, engineers, enthusiasts and experts in most every field of the Numismatic knowledge base, always willing and able to assist others to grow the collecting hobby as a goal, Good Luck, Mike......PS, What Vams do you collect, Morgans, Peace dollars?

I do recognize your nick and want to also you to the forum

Hello again; Thank You for the welcomes! I have done some searching around this forum and have 2 questions, if I may. The first is posting pics, other than imageshack I have not been able to figure out how it's done here. Second, is there an archive for pics of vams?

morgans dad asked what I collect. That's easy, just the basics... 8tf, 7/8tf, 78-S LN's, clashed with letter transfer, die breaks - radial or otherwise, E clashes, SCD's & ECD's, and anything else I may have forgot! I have the big VAM book, Top 100- The VAM Keys, Elite Clashed Morgan dollars and the 2010 updated supplement.


I've made ALL of the newbie/rookie/noob mistakes, and continue to make some in this long learning curve. NEW VAMMERS, pay attention to the lessons taught here from these gentlemen! IT WILL save you valuable time AND MONEY!
That's all for now. Thanks...kenny
