nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 12:37 pm Dad just gave me this 1901 Morgan, does it have any obvious VAM value, or is it too worn to consider? At least the date is clear. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 07:41 am Basically my Dad told me to sell. I don't do silver (yet). I collect Canadian large cents only, so he knows that I would prefer to change this silver into copper so to speak. My real question is: Does this coin have any obvious VAM atributes? I seems that there are dozens of possibilities for each silver dollar, I don't want to put a potentially valuable coin into the dealers melt bucket. Sorry if I wasn't clear at first.

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 11:30 am The date seems quite low, only VAM 24 is listed and a VAM that has NO Value over the coin itself... She's just a "Good Ole Girl".your not adding to anybody's wealth by trading for copper's Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 12:04 pm It's a 2-olive reverse, and likely not accurately attributable past that due to wear. Of the little information available,I like 18 as a candidate due to mint mark location or 47 because of what seems a slant in the date. Report this Post to the Staff
thedadz New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 2:25 pm What the gentlemen said is true. Your Dad gave this to you knowing you would rather invest it in your present collection of copper. Don't worry, we and the VAM's will be here when your ready...kenny Report this Post to the Staff
