Just to clarify, Chris is right in that new varieties must go through Leroy Van Allen to be added to the official VAM listings. If I receive a...
It would be very hard to send a coin to VAMWorld, since it has no physical location and is not an organization that exists beyond a server at...
Fugio cent is in a gray area, as it comes before the establishment of the mint and ratification of the Constitution that gives Congress the...
I have a variety attribution service that mostly does VAMs. Some here have used it, everyone on VAMWorld knows about it. http://varslab.com. If...

I don't see an E. Try VAM 6A.
