Hi all, have been reading your posts for last few months. Very informative and entertaining, Im new to coin collecting(about a year) so your posts have been eye-opening and saved me alot of money. Why do people refer to morgans as vams and what does AT mean? Thanks!!

Hello!
VAMs refer to specialized varieties of morgans that are identified by minute die differences...
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."

VAM: In the early 1960's Van Allen and Mallis (VAM) developed the system of cataloguing Morgan and Peace dollars that we use now, where each different variety is called a VAM, and each has been assigned a VAM Number.

Actually if you have something specific just ask for the graysheet price for the coin.
And what they said as to your questions.
