Need Morgan VAM book recommendation

ProofCollectionProofCollection Posts: 6,719 ✭✭✭✭✭
I'm looking for a good Morgan VAM book. I'm looking for a book with more than just the Top 100. Can anyone refer me to a particular book and a place where I can buy it, if not widely available?

    You could also search for the Van Allen-Mallis book, "The Comprehensive and Complete Guide to Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars" which is the original VAM book. Maybe Amazon or eBay has one for sale.

    Edit to correct title to Encyclopedia instead of Complete Guide. Maybe I could remember it better if the title were more concisely stated.

    It's a must have and I don't even Wham... Oops VAM but there's a ton of crutial info in these books for any Morgan or Peace $1 collector.

    The price mentioned for the Hardcover by rich is a great price as these have been selling on Ebay for $120-150 as they are a limited print run.

    OT but - Speaking of Wham... I found it funny that Duran Duran has a new CD coming out this month. image

    Thanks, I just found a Hardcover Encyclopedia on Ebay for $80+$7 (BIN). Bidding started at $35, but based on what you guys said I didn't want to take a chance.
