<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nesvt, post: 27301, member: 1749&quot;]I was joking around.&nbsp; Just wanted to say that searching for VAMs can be endless and very time consuming.... but don&#039;t miss out.&nbsp; I spent hours looking at an 1878-P with a 10x loupe over a one month period.&nbsp; It had a double date and doubled stars, etc... but I had to give up (it was taking time from my full-time job).&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t match it in the books.&nbsp; Spent more time than it was worth.&nbsp; I posted a picture and had an answer within 30 seconds.&nbsp; Experience is key (and I&#039;m still learning).</p><p><br /></p><p>No, I&#039;m not going to sell any of mine.&nbsp; I&#039;m more into the uniqueness of the varieties than the value of the coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to get different types of VAMs (double dates, triple stars, doubled eyes, die breaks, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>About the 5x.... I just upgraded my 10x loupe for a 16x one.&nbsp; What are you saying?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I think I may have to invest in an electron microscope.&nbsp; There are several on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of my favorites....</p><p><br /></p><p>1921-P VAM-8 dot under wing</p><p><img src="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~normansalter/1921P8_dot_2400_1.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>1882-O O/S VAM-3 O over S mint mark</p><p><img src="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~normansalter/1882O_OS_V3_2.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>1882-P VAM-1A dot on two in date</p><p><img src="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~normansalter/1882P1A_date_2400_4.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1886-P VAM-1B die gouge in designer&#039;s initial</p><p><img src="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~normansalter/1886P_VAM1B_M.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
