In fact, Bishal wrote Chapter 5 of the Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars.&nbsp; Apparently, he was famous for his understanding of VAMs and his collection of error coins of all types.&nbsp; Last month at the FUN show, Mr. Bishal was posthumously named the winner of the highest award given by the Society of Silver Dollar Collectors:&nbsp; the 2014 VAM Master.&nbsp; His sons — Peter, 52, and Paul, 51, showed up at the LB show and showed Logan their dad’s original notes which had been under wraps for more than 50 years. “Unbelievable,” was Logan’s shocked one-word reaction.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/imagejpeg_0_zpsf2e2af4d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/1797140_10202178563043994_1478875657_n_zps0230bdff.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Logan’s latest and greatest VAMS Retail Price Guide was on sale at his table</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3951_zps69d5d4b6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Autumn/Northern Nevada’s jewelry person</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3985_zps3d9b6fc9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tony/Northern Nevada Coin paying some (long overdue!) bills ;-)</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3952_zps6e29a562.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Allen/Northern Nevada Coin multi-tasking - getting a massage and talking on the phone – photo bomb by Tony!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3983_zpsda6937cb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Amanda/Alhambra Coin</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3970_zps0fdfcb86.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bright and beautiful Taryn/Expos Unlimited</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3953_zpsa29e51c8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Corbin who used to be with PCGS, is now working at Expos Unlimited</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3968_zps06d40d6e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ryan Moretti/Stacks Bowers</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3969_zps854a3435.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bob/Watersport and his lovely wife</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3971_zps90b918e1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Scott Western coin supply table</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_4038_zpsea7c6fc5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Rick Snow showing me his AC.
