<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 88505, member: 112"]It all has to do with the specific die pairs used to strike the coins - they are called die marriages. This particular VAM was only produced by a single pair of dies. The diagnostics on the obverse and on the reverse are used to identify the coins from this 1 single pair of dies. If either the obverse or the reverse die were changed out for a new one - that pair of dies would produce a different VAM number for the coins from that pair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
