<p>[QUOTE=&quot;No_Ragrets, post: 26257032, member: 151874&quot;]I once had a 1976 Oldsmobile Omega SX that was gifted to me by my dad after a terrible car accident I was in and in need of a vehicle. It was originally purchased by my uncle, who sold it to my dad years later. Little did I know, that was a rather rare car, particularly due to the transmission in it, and my dad just about blew an o-ring when he found out I donated it because I blew the transmission! He was rather upset with me that day. </p><p><br /></p><p>Vams refer to specific die varieties (more like particular die marriages) for specific coins / years / mints. &quot;VAM&quot; itself is an acronym for the 2 people who began identifying and listing these different die marriages for each year and mint, Leroy Van Allen and A. George Mallis. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just because one particular coin from, say 1897, has a VAM-16 that doesn&#039;t mean that every VAM-16 is the same. Each year and mint had their own die marriages for production that year, so VAMs will not match between years or even same years of different mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
