VAMWorld 2.0

Good morning all. I have a 1886 O with a rotated reverse. Is this considered to be a VAM? If so is there a VAM number. As always thanks Well, since it's a Morgan dollar, yes, it is a VAM. The question is, which one? This one is very easy to figure out. Just keep to the basics, date position and min...

VAM 37. I see a gouge.

It was moved because it hadn't been observed. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That said, the die polishing lines on your coin need to match those shown on the 65A page (and those on a 65A coin that aren't shown) exactly for it to be considered to be VAM 65. I can't tell from here if they do. Than...

And the Obverse has plenty of interesting pick up points.

I have only been looking at VAMs for a couple years and a lot of the ones I attributed early on have turned out to be wrong. I had some time this weekend and was going back through some to see if I had gotten them right. I have an 01 O that I labeled as VAM 65 and was surprised to not find the page....

i'm gonna guess VAM 4B

(sheepishly checking his shoes)

Can I want to change my answer to 4B?

Welcome aboard!

Take a look at VAM 9.

I too am looking forward to anyone's insight. I have 19 coins in the VAM 7 family that I'll be sending to JB in early May. (I'm hoping to get ahold of another 7D that doesn't have the mark at the right shoulder mentioned in my other VAM 7 post, but no luck so far.) Right now they're helping me to un...

When I got my 1st 7D, there was a spot at the eagle's right shoulder that looked like a minor struck-thru error. Nothing really to get excited about. Didn't give it another thought. I did get excited about the whole VAM 7 family and started snapping them up whenever I could. I started going through ...

I've been spending a bit of time going through the VAM 7 family coins I have and a couple of them have given me questions. This post is the 1st and it's regarding the dividing line between 7 and 7A. The coin in question is an NGC MS 64 (3689512-020). It has the gouges at the arrow heads but only the...

V 14?

That's the one. Good Job!

Methinks interest may be waning. Don't know if we should make them harder, easier, or just pause.

I guess it's dealer's choice.

I know around here, spring has arrived in force. Getting the bad with the good, but right now were enjoying several days of Great! Sitting inside and studying can be easily avoided. I suspect there's a bit of that going around. A couple more picture hints in the event it's raining in your neighborho...

Next up is an 82 S.

As always, it's all in the VAMWorld pages.

Enjoy and I hope it's not too easy even though I'm not giving the dead giveaway yet.

Ok. I say VAM 22.

I think that makes you the winner! Hurray here is your avocado

Gee, thanks. I was wishin' for one of them!

Now let's see what I can dig up.

Hmmm...

Ok. I say VAM 22.

I have a guess but I've been waiting to see if anyone else is going to take a crack at it. I'll wait until tomorrow evening.

BTW, your pictures are exceptional.

Here are some additional pics.

V44? and if that's right I will need a day to make sure I don't pull a PCGS on what I put up :lol: :lol: :lol: And I thought you'd go straight to 44 after your 1st guess since they share. But, yes, you're right. VAM 44 is correct. Well done. Jonnie ps. Pardon the quality of the pic. Storm knocked o...

No to 32, 32A, 37, and 37A.

And the original pic is titled "second 8."

I must not be understanding this game very well . Not sure I could have found O/S with the date and ear pic provided....and the work avoidance act is a product of more modern times. Post Covid I think . 😆 I may have been unclear. The picture isn't the answer, it's another clue. This is how PCGS att...
