VAMWorld 2.0 up and running!
As of last night, the migration of the old, Wikispaces-based VAMWorld to the new platform was declared complete enough* to redirect the vamworld.com domain to the new platform. The old VAMWorld was a wiki with discussion board hosted by Wikispaces, which is disappearing at the end of September. The new VAMWorld is running on an AWS EC2 instance, using MediaWiki for the wiki (like Wikipedia), and phpBB (open-source discussion board standard) for the discussion forum. While the installation, configuration, and maintenance is more involved than having it done by a site like Wikispaces, the chosen platform is about as standard as one can get and has a far richer feature set than Wikispaces ever did.
* "Complete enough" means that all information has been migrated, including pictures, although we expect that there'll be some formatting issues and perhaps some dead links that slipped through the automated conversion scripts. These issues, and others that will be encountered, will be dealt with individually.

You sir, are a rock star! THANK YOU!!!!!
I tried looking up 1921 Peace Dollar VAMS, but all the 1921 Morgan VAMS came up. I'm sure it will be updated, just a matter of time. Thanks to all those that have contributed and updated VAM World.
Thanks to you and everyone else who worked to make this happen!!!
It's fixed now.

I didn't reference it often but am grateful that it will be there when I do need it. Thank you very much.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
A very large undertaking and Messydesk and Co. deserve a lot of appreciation from collectors and those spotting counterfeits.
Well done!
