[QUOTE="Jim K, post: 3568013, member: 91282"]For Peace and Morgan dollar error varieties, VAM's, does anyone have a better reference site or publication than [URL="http://www.vamworld.com?"]www.vamworld.com?[/URL] I have found it a lot harder to navigate, and find particular VAM listings on that site since it was revamped a short time ago. The Peace silver dollars are my absolute favorite coins, and I have recently begun trying to fill the many holes in my Morgan collection. I have found several Peace dollars with large and multiple die cracks, however, can find no specific reference to the individual coins. Some are examples of two different VAM listings, while others are undocumented. Clearly the ones that have two distinct and clear errors, as defined by Vamworld, really should be, and probably are listed as a separate VAM; but since the website has undergone so many changes, it can be impossible to find a certain VAM, even though there are certified examples of that VAM. I have found that searching for a particular date, followed by the word 'rarity' will generally give a link to the complete list of VAM's for that date, of course sorting them by rarity. So I do not think I am missing any listings. I do suspect that many VAM listings have been accidentally deleted when the site went through its rebirth. As a relatively new member of Vamworld, I am also curious how one would go about submitting a particular coin to be listed as a VAM. I have one example that I have two of, with the exact same die break spanning half the coins obverse, yet can not find a VAM listing for it at all....in fact, I can not find anything thats even close. I did meticulously check every VAM variety listed for that date. To get a coin listed as a VAM, does the coin have to be submitted to someone, or can pictures be sent in? I have looked at the menus and links, but am having trouble finding information on how to get a coin listed. I would appreciate any information you may have on the proceedure for VAM submission required on the vamworld website, and/or any information on other sites or publications that contain a list of VAM's by date, and have photos to reference. I know I can post photos of individual coins here, and if no one can provide an answer to my inquiry, I will do that. Unfortunately, that will not get a particular VAM listed. (I have at least one that warrents being listed). Thanks in advance folks and as always...........HAPPY HUNTING![/QUOTE]
