[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 105528, member: 1749"]Thanks everyone! I think I've gotten a little obsessed and may need to slow down.... at least that's what my wife is telling me. VAM stands for the initials of the two authors of the "VAM Book" (Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars).... Leroy [b]V[/b]an [b]A[/b]llen and A. George [b]M[/b]allis. It identifies the different die pairs that were used... and also different die states with significant differences in the original die pair. All Morgan and Peace dollars are VAMs. The last printing of the book is the 4th edition. There are updates available that are almost as thick as the book! My favorite sites...
