Vams,The Stuff You Dream About!!!

It's been a helluva week for me so far.Been entrenched with Peace Dollar Vams and within the last year started looking into Morgans.Really never liked them,too many dates,too much to look for and remember,etc.Well,after this week i'm hooked.It started Saturday with a hugh coin auction with over 700 lots.I thought everybody in the tri-state area would be there the way they advertised it,Even had an ad in COINWORLD.Saturday came and there were maybe 50 people there.This is the stuff you dream about.Now all I had to do was win a few of the lots I wanted.RESULTS!1924 Peace VAM 5A Broken Wing,1925 Peace VAM 5 Missing Ray,also wanted a 1921 Thornhead,but got outbidded,1899-S Vam 7,Ngc slabbed,1885-p Vam 1A Pitted Reverse and my favorite 1885-P Vam 22 Large Dash,Thanks to Steve the alarm guy
Also,got back coins from Leroy and he attributed two new Morgan Vams for me.Not done yet and this might be the best,yesterday i cherrypicked two more Morgan Vams,a 1921-P Spiked tail feather variety in BU and it turned out to be a Vam 3A2,supposedly the rarest of the three varieties and last but not the least is a Vam I always wanted,an 1887-P Vam 2 7over 6 in BU,I would say at least a 64.All i must say for reasonable price.Like I said,it's been a helluva week so far.Can't wait for tomorrow.

I'll tell you one thing about Steve the Alarm Guy,he's got a very sharp eye when it comes to VAMS,the only problem with him is, don't send him out for coffee,you might wait forever.

I wasn't the one who went out for coffee!
