Has anyone ever used this company or has a coin slabbed by them? Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

    Nice that they show what to look for - some of the Vam attributes are so small you need some magnification to see them.

    I can ask VSS but others here besides myself may like to know. Is the photo in the VSS "Coin World" slab of the coin in the holder or a "stock" photo?

    The slabs I use are the newer Coin World slabs, which are stacking-compatible with PCGS slabs. The photo on the holder is of the actual coin in the holder, not a stock photo.

    That looks like an excellent resource for VAM collectors - and the reports above support them. Cheers, RickO

    The construction of the website is one of the things that I need to get around to. I'm hoping to be able to devote some time to it this weekend, perhaps after I go grocery shopping. The article mentioned above was a press released published in the September issue of The Numismatist that was also sent to a couple other news outlets.
