Hey VAMers --- How do you like your VAMs "served"? ...

So --- what is your preference?
And...are you willing to pay a premium to acquire one?
Just curious...

Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

Cherrypicking is always the preferred and most fun route with VAMs. (After all, who doesn't like finding free money?)
But I also frequently buy certain ones -- especially when the seller doesn't have a clue about how to price them, which happens almost as much on the low side as it does on the high side. Even if he is in tune with the market, there are some VAMs for which stated prices are too low in my opinion, so I'm willing to buy them even if they're priced at going rates.
Very good point...I believe this to be true as well.
I think that they get more money not identifying the variety.....Does anyone else feel the same way?

at times a wolf will deliver them and I've been know to
RJoyce when I place them in my 1921 VAM Dansco..
I also collect any VAM I can find in the small white ANACS holder.
My 1921 PCGS grading set also has some VAMs but those I consider icing on my cake and they were cherrypicks.
So I say any way I can find them.

As far as dealers knowing the vam, but not listing it - the ones who I suspect do this use shills
on eBay and I've learned to avoid them. It's not a smart business strategy in the long run.

Same show, different dealer and yes, they had VAM's marked in both 2x2 and in slabs. Got this one for 62 money.... (sorry about the pics..didn't realize they were this crappy)
