<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2498417, member: 19250&quot;]When coins are minted there&#039;s&nbsp; a obverse&nbsp; die and a reverse&nbsp; die. Each die has its&nbsp; own finger print so to speak. When collectors talk about Vams&nbsp; or die marriages&nbsp; what they are doing is matching&nbsp; up the two dies that minted the coin.</p><p>Since die&#039;s do wear out and break sometimes different&nbsp; dies were used. So when you&#039;re&nbsp; looking&nbsp; for&nbsp; a vam or die marriage you&#039;re&nbsp; trying&nbsp; to use certain&nbsp; pick up points so you can ID the two dies used to mint a certain&nbsp; coin.</p><p>If you&#039;re&nbsp; interested&nbsp; Google vam world. Lot&#039;s of good information&nbsp; as well as pictures .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
