VAMWorld 2.0

Nice find on the 1923 VAM 1AC2. Any variety with a nickname is special as in this case "Whisker Chin". Twin clash spikes off the eagle's shoulder, intersecting die cracks forming an X below eagle's talon, and line through D are interesting die markers. Recently, my 1923 VAM 1AC2 specimen received a...

These are the one I found on the website. Are these not each VAM's? They are all on one coin.

Forgot one.

This is a real pain in the butt!! Each post only takes so many pictures? Plus the pictures didn't go in the order I wanted!!

Here's the 1AC and the 1AC2. Plus the VAM-1AC1 X Die Scratches Below Talons and a 1AH clashed N tip. That's 4 on one coin, right?

A big deal? That would depend on why your trying to identify the VAM. The 1AC2 is not on the top 100 VAM list or hot 50/Elite 30. However, I have VAMs also not on those lists but I think they're pretty special. If your trying to VAM for a profit, the coin date, MM, and grade are much more relevent ...

1AC2 has a lot of data in the listing. Start there and see if its a match.

If it's a match, is it a big deal? Or would it be significant? Or just a common VAM?

First things first, there's no such thing as multiple VAMs on one coin. It's a common misconception stemming from a misunderstanding of what a VAM is. A VAM is a specific combination of an obverse and a reverse die that can be told apart from other such combinations. The way we tell them apart is b...

Keep in mind during this discussion, I know nothing about VAM's. I'm a complete novice.

Check VAM 1AC2

The 1AC2 is there and visible.

VAMs can be sequenced when many anomalys or dies are involved but no, there are not multiple VAMs for one coin. The 23 Peace is a tough nut. Look for chips in her hair but the crack or break from her neck to the 1 in the date looks severe so its probably listed somewhere. I can't identify anything ...

Is it common to have multiple VAM's on one coin? I see a bunch of stuff on this coin; cracks, chips clashes and die scratches. I'm probably missing some as well.

tj52, Welcome to VW. Please don’t make a separate post to continue a thread about one coin. Continue talking about the topic on a single post. There is a lot of good information here. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Okay, thanks. I have to manipulate my way through the forum. The first thread wouldn'...

Your two farthest right arrows and the line thru the T in TRVST is a die crack. Unto itself, these features do not warrant a VAM designation. I suggest going to the 1922 B2 listings and try another angle. I sometimes will open each and every listing and try to match my coin to each one. Also, take ...

Additional pictures.

I have 3 Peace dollars I'm going to post for opinions. I'm not a VAM guy. I know zero about VAM's. I know something called VAM's exist but that's about it. I tried to do my own research but I'm stuck. I looked at all the pictures posted under 1922-P VAM's. VAM 1AA seems to be the closest one to this...

It's also listed on John Wexler's site as WUFO-001. I'm unclear as to what CONECA's relationship to Variety Vista is right now. My understanding was that James Wiles was no longer adding to the CONECA master listing, but everything that had been there before this transition took place was still goo...

CONECA has now listed this variety as RDV -001 Elongated Third Ray in their "Variety Vista" under "The Presidential Golden Dollar Die Variety Book" with subtitle "Reverse Design Varieties for the Presidential Dollar". The 2007 P GW$ variety RDV-001 is rated as (Rare). James Wiles is the author of "...
