While some VAM's add little if any value to a specific coin (Date, Mintmark and Grade), some are rare and add hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars to the value. To give you an example: An 1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar in VF-20 is generally worth about $20 and an 1882-O/S "VAM 4 LDS" Morgan is worth about the same. However, an 1882-O/S "VAM 3 LDS" in the same grade is worth about $60, the "VAM 3 EDS" is worth about $120 and a "VAM 4 EDS" is worth $3,500. VAM's (Van Allen-Marris Variety Morgan Silver Dollars) are assigned Rarity Factor numbers in pretty much the same manner as other error and variety coins. There are also a Hot 50 and Top 100 lists which note the coins that are most sought after.
