<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 27276, member: 824&quot;]VAM for Morgans mean die variety types. Two guys, Leroy C. Van Allen and George Mallis (Van Allen &amp; Mallis) put together the Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan &amp; Peace Dollars.&nbsp; Hence the name of VAM for their namesakes was born as these two guys really had too much time on their hands.&nbsp; <i>[Sorry to the numismatic community, but to examine some of these varieties that are not visible under 5X power doesn&#039;t excite me much!]</i></p><p><br /></p><p>As of 1997, the VAM text lists nearly 2,000 differant die combinations which is <b>twice as much </b> as those listed in 1971.&nbsp; You look hard enough and you might find your own VAM!</p><p><br /></p><p>An &quot;S&quot; mark within an &quot;O&quot; mint mark, a doubled-headed obverse with two complete sets of lips, chins and nose, a doubled eagle with doubled feathers are examples of VAM&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some are worth more than others...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
