    Here's a test for all you vampire's I realize that the images aren't the best . However I ran across this one this week and think it's a pretty cool vam. One hint it's listed as an R-5 @ vam world . 20170416_104451.jpg 20170416_104518.jpg

    That is the spike going above the Eagles right shoulder and almost reaching the N.

    I don't VAM Peace Dollars (yet) but I'm curious to hear the answer.

    Ive spent atleast 20 mins going over 75% +/- of ALL the vams for this date. Focusing mainly on that diagonal scratch/crack from the top right of N(in) to the middle left of G(god). With no such luck:mad:&THIS is why i hate peace $ vams, they are usually a snooze fest 4 me :yawn:. With that said, i landed @ V-13 and since its an R5 it was good enough 4 my coin and called it a day .
    Sidenote: I would much rather vam a '21 Morgan than a peace dollar, especially since some of them command moon $$$$

    Well since I got those who guessed all frustrated :woot: I guess I will have to tell you that it's a Vam 17 .Yes I know you couldn't see the beveled edge under Peace as well as the Polish lines on the beveled area. The olive branch doesn't touch the toe,and the leg feathers are doubled . ;)

    This can be the simple truth for all VAMs

    Just my experience with Peace Dollars are worse :)

    I must confess in hand this one was quite simple . Again I shot it with a cell phone camera . And yes I do understand that they will drive you to drink...as there are some in my collection that I am clueless .

    Being able to physically see this coin would be an advantage. I use to spend many hours looking for VAM Morgans finding the meaning of absolute Attributions. No just abouts :)
