Am I the only person on CT ...

Does absolutely 0 fro me.

Though I think its funny how most VAM-pires and Cherry pickers wont pay premium for their variety they, surly try to add all the fs #'s and Vams # to raise the price when trying to sell. To me its sad to see an auction full of them , all with high starting prices but yet very few to no bidders

So question to those with "vam-itis" a 1921-S Morgan which is AU would fetch the same price as a 1921-S Vam 6-A Morgan AU ?

 

6a only garners a very slight premium in au and lower

 

I'm hoping for a stage B ...

 

My kind of folks .........

 

Not much of a VAM guy though I have Morgans all over the place.

 

Rick, you crack me up! Good Tunage!

 

Frankly I really don't give a Vam. But then again it does make it really Vam interesting.

 

I only like a few that I can see with a 3X loupe . meaning something a person with 20/20 vision can see without a loupe . I have about 7 Morgans in my collection a few CC GSA coins nI got in the GSA sales an 8 TF and a higher graded one for my type set . But if you like them collect them I'd rather collect Bust halves by Overtons as these coins have a little rarity compared to most Morgans . Though I do have at least 150 or more in my 90% silver stash .

 

Vam-it your a funny boy !

 

Though they aren't referenced as Vams, Red Book list many varieties that have been sought after and collected for centuries. VamWorld just gave the Morgan and Peace dollars a number. No different than Newcomb, or Breen.

 

Well not really Newcomb is more die state and die pairing verses varieties

 

No. I do not care about minor differences in Morgans.

Anyway, if I get my hands on a 2006-S San Francisco Old Mint Centennial silver dollar, can anyone tell me what VAM it is?

 

Vams are die pairs with varieties thrown in. You can find a doubled die or a rusted, cracked die, listed there.

 

Count me as well. Don't see the appeal of them.

 

Probably because they're too "modern" for you

 

Many of my Morgans and Peace dollars are raw, so I use VAMing as a way to self authenticate any dollars I buy. A LOT better than paying someone $30+ to do it for me.

 

Anyone who plans on buying a key date Morgan better be a VAMmer to the point of knowing the what the die markers are. To answer the op question, I care about VAMs. My avatar is one of my favorites albeit fairly common, it is a very busy VAM.
