I bought a pair of these. One is a PCGS MS61 and the other is a MS-62. I LOVE the doubled LIBERTY. My camera is down now, but I do have a shot of the MS-61 and some detailed shots.

These were the first VAMs I ever bought. Once I started to look at the Morgan and Peace dollars I had, I found I had 12 more VAMs.

I love to search for VAMs and show them to my wife. She's just getting into coins. The Nikon Camera Control Pro program really helps me search coins and check for VAMs.

that is exactly how I got started collecting VAM's myself. I first started on a date/mm set and just about had every coin in MS-64 except for 3 or 4 coins before I purchased my first coin labeled as a specific VAM (NGC MS-62 VAM-84). Once I started researching what the term VAM meant I started looking at my other coins and joined this site. I found I had a hand full of TOP100 VAM's already in my collection and a few HOT50's also. At that point and time I didn't quite grasp the concept that every Morgan and Peace dollar are a VAM of some type but this one purchase of this one specific VAM is what started it all for me

You have a very nice VAM 38 Yoko. Thanks for sharing. Here is mine I just recently got in Feb. The doubling is outrageous and 7 over 5 TF very strong.
