  • VAMs are COOL!! image

    They are basically die varieties where some are extremely rare and desirable to Morgan and Peace Dollar variety collectors.

    Finding a rare and desirable "VAM" could turn an "ordinary" coin into one of $ub$tantial value.

    Since all Morgan and Peace Dollars are assigned a VAM designation (except ones not yet discovered and attributed), it will pay you dividends
    to obtain VAM variety information and keep an eye out for them. image

    Here is a VAM website that might help you learn about VAMs and lead you to other VAM websites/information:

    If I only had a dollar for every VAM I have...err...nevermind...I do!! image
