<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Becky, post: 125638, member: 4423&quot;]Every date has it&#039;s own set of VAM numbers. A VAM 12 for the 1878 means that it has some doubled letters (bottom of E, PL-RIB and S) and that some of the stars and numbers in the date are doubled. It is an R-4. But a VAM 12 for any other date will not be the same thing. You have to have a magnifing glass to see most of these, and have to train yourself to see them, it&#039;s not easy at first, but will get easier the more you look.</p><p><br /></p><p>An &quot;Alligator Eye&quot; is an 1887, not a 1878. Here is a closeup of what you will see.....</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/Becky7474/87pDeye.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are 1000&#039;s of VAMs, more being found every day. The&nbsp; only ones that are worth any real premium are the Top 100&#039;s, Hot 50&#039;s, and the Super CD&#039;s. If you are at all interested in them, you must buy a &quot;Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars&quot; by Leroy Van Allen and George Mallis. It&#039;s a wonderful book that has way more information in it than just VAMs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
