<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2400788, member: 1765&quot;]There&#039;s no such thing as a &quot;combined variety.&quot;&nbsp; Newcomb is for 1816-57 large cents, period.&nbsp; VAM is for Morgan and Peace dollars, period.&nbsp; Both terms refer to the catalog of die marriages for their respective types.&nbsp; I hear and read variations of &quot;this coin has a VAM on it&quot; frequently.&nbsp; That can only make sense if there is a Morgan or Peace dollar physically sitting on the coin in question.&nbsp; A feature like a doubled die or repunched mintmark can be a characteristic of a VAM, but it is not a VAM by itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
