<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2647284, member: 80121&quot;]Morgan collectors like to separate themselves, to a degree, from other collectors. If a Morgan is an error coin, it&#039;s called a VAM (the combination of the names of the two persons who catalog Morgan errors), while every other coin, that has an error, is called an error coin. I&#039;m preparing a presentation for my Coin Club on error coins and I&#039;ve been researching different errors, and it&#039;s really interesting how the different errors are caused. I also learned not to use double die and machine doubling interchangeably.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the mint has decided to use only one type of band on American Silver Eagle Monster Boxes, so the TPGS and others will not be able to tell where the bullion version was struck. The mint has admitted that they were struck in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point the last two years, but there is nothing to distinguish which mint the bullion ASE came from. I think the mint is cutting off the extra sales they were getting from those people who wanted to buy the ones struck in the other mints. West Point robotically puts the ASEs into the tubes, while the other two mints still put them into the tubes by hand. This may explain why the percentage of 70s has gone down the last wo years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
