VAMWorld 2.0

Wow, great find and nice job with the dip, luster still appears present and you removed 99.9% of the dark tarnish preserving the coin never mind appreciating its value. How did you see that O/S with those pics.

Was reviewing my vams and wanted to confirm whether this coin was a vam 40, just very EDS. Appears the vam 40 is 1 of the more difficult 7/8 strong vams to locate. Looking at the pics posted. this coin has no die cracks on reverse and no 'V' gauge by ICA. Realize coin reverse has a lot of circulatio...

Thanks, had it originally as the 1A1, but the latest photos posted of vam progression also led me to believe it is a 1A1-4

Thought I knew which 91-O vam I had, but now I'm confused whether it is the 1A1- Stage 3 or 1A1-4. Using a 30X loupe, there are 2 die cracks between the A &T on the reverse, but not as pronounced as pictured in the the Vam guide. Also the break bump is polished down with a noticable chip in the cent...

Upon further examination, appears my Vam 18 is half way to 18A. Doesn't have the obverse extended "E" from the double break to the star and only 2 of the 3 stars have the break. The break at the lower hair is also just starting. On the reverse, only the "E" and second "L" have the die chips.

Messydesk,

Thanks, that's it. Not sure how I missed it, spells it out perfectly.

Being identifying VAMs for my collection and couldn't find the VAM for my 1900 - S. It appears to be a very near date which is not common for the date. It has a die break on obv between E and P. S looks normal on reverse and reverse doesn't appear to have to have any die breaks. Both sides appear fr...

Agree cleaned, but was it overdipped and also lightly rubbed on Liberty's face and the eagle breast feathers or just 1 of those 2?

Did the seller know what it was?

Agree, looks like an MS63.

Not attributed but nice Vam 197 in an older white ANACS holder. Has all the markers. Has that gold & blue rim toning common on the older ANACS holders.

Started buying Morgans in 2003 with a GSA 84CC as the 1st. Then purchased about 350 of them over the next 5 years, primarily EBAY. With the many dupes, had a 90+% collection in slabs, these were the best, 95+% raw in my Dansco album with about 25% broken out of slabs, and 90% in a LOC album, which w...

Older white ANACs holder and 99% white. Morgan with most gouges. Gen 13 holder. Had coin 15+ years and selling some dupes. $475 delivered.

Agree with the details grade, been cleaned and those dents are too obvious. However as mentioned, they are key dates and still a lot of design on the coins. Enjoy

Looks like some sort of napkin window sill toning. Does not enhance the coins and probably hiding something.

Here's 2 close-up photos reflecting the raised lines on the left side of the wreath's leaves. Guess polishing the working die scratched these lines somehow into the field. Although this Vam has polished Eagle wings on both sides, the breast feathers look very detailed and maybe reworked. P1040572 (4...

Agree 61 or 62 seems appropriate grade from photos. From what I've seen, TPGs appear to be lenient on CC Morgans, so probably will get a 62.

I was looking at my Morgan collection yesterday and saw something on the Vam 83 reverse I never noticed before. On the right side wreath, 3rd leaf cluster from top, there were 2 raised die scratches on top of the wreath's leaves, mimicking the lower 2 leaves, like an outline of the leaves or an inve...

Dennis,

Thanks for the feedback. I was assuming $300 - $325 range, so no real premium over recent auction prices. Blast white, strong strike, but not proof like. Guess the VAM may just help to market to buyers and sell when that day comes.

Hi, is there any premium to this VAM. In an older/white ANACS slab MS62. Realize this year has appreciated nicely over the years and wonder if this VAM adds any premium. Thanks for your time and assistance. Great website for Vammers. Use it all the time and been cataloging my VAMs recently while I w...
