I’m thinking 3 but would like other opinions.

    Get this book.

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

    Agree it looks like 3 ;)

    My VAM mentor taught me that when trying to determine a VAM you should always start by looking at date position first. Initially I had a difficult time with this. Sometimes it has nothing to do with it but many times it does. Researching VAMs is fun and very addicting. I have spent endless time researching VAMs. Part of the fun with Morgan's.

    I know very little about VAMs, just what I have learned on this forum. I do have a lot of Morgans and Peace dollars, raw and slabbed. It seems it would take a 'deep dive' into the topic to really learn much. Maybe... Cheers, RickO

    I agree, these can be hard to determine the Vam unless you have obvious markers to start going by and then narrowing it down.
