I really liked this one (1878s Morgan)

I think I have definitely caught the Morgan fever.

    Welcome to the Morgan club... Now that you have the bug... Start researching ALL of the VAMS! A beautiful coin in it's own right, but wait till you start looking at all the die cracks, gouges, doubling etc... Hope you have a good loupe!

    I think you have to pay extra to have a VAM designation, so many wont have it. Also, I think you have to identify which VAM they are certifying.

    And PCGS and NGC only designate a small subset of the VAMs presently. That is bound to change sooner than later.
