<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C G Memminger, post: 2630561, member: 71506&quot;]Chris is correct. Every Morgan and Peace dollar have VAM assignments.&nbsp; Check VAMworld website.&nbsp; It&#039;s all about die pairings, and Messrs Van Allen and Mallis worked tirelessly for God knows how long to compile their catalog.&nbsp; Excellent background info at that site.&nbsp; Check it out..you&#039;ll quickly pick it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>The idea is to eliminate possibilities to correctly identify the VAM.&nbsp; For example, if you can see that you are looking at a far date, you can narrow the possible VAM assignments.&nbsp; If&nbsp; you can see the mint mark in a high and right-leaning position, you can further narrow the possibilities.&nbsp; This way, you do not have to look at each variation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some coins are easy to identify without any website help.&nbsp; 1880-CC VAMs 4-5-6-7 are great examples.&nbsp; Same for 1893-S...ain&#039;t but 2 VAMs.&nbsp; But if you want a real challenge, check out 1921 and 1921-D (hundreds). Oy vey![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
