Hello, I was visiting your site looking for information on dealers and noticed you had a forum for errors. My question is Vam Morgan dollars, is this a type of error? I know it has been around since the 70's but I have been away from U.S. coins for years and now I see allot of vam this and vam that advertised. I have 4 different mint mark varieties one being the s/s but I am not sure what the other three could be, is there anyone at this site who could tell me more?
No CC's minted in 1895. Last year was 1893. Check out Ashmore Lots of pics so it may take a minute to fully load. Dial-up users beware.
I think there are only five different VAMs for 1895-S (1, 1A, 2, 3, 4). There was only one size 'S' used for that year. There are a couple S/S varieties. One shows a shift, one had the other S punched horizontally instead of vertically. VAMs are not always errors. They are just a designation for the die pairs used.
