VAM – (Van Allen/Mallis) Listed with a Van Allen/Mallis (VAM) reference number in the Comprehensive </p><p>Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars by Leroy Van Allen and George Mallis. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The term <b>VAM</b> is used to describe practically any deviation from a &quot;normal&quot; Morgan for that year and mint, such that people talk about having found a &quot;VAM&quot; when the variety they note hasn&#039;t even been assigned a VAM Number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
