Not in a million years.
But to each his own.
Yep

Pretty sure they didn't make a 2 headed Morgan!

Yes, if you're speaking about the rarest VAMs or the Top 100 VAMs
No, if you mean collecting every single DIE variation in existence.
That is of course IMHO!
<< <i>Yes, though I have slowed down considerably in the last year. >>
I completely agree! But my reason my be different from yours.
It is getting increasingly more difficult to find great VAM's in Good condition.

They are an important part of numismatics.

It's a big distraction and on par with conditional rarities.
But...
The only slabbed VAM coins i've seen in hand have been an agonizing Where's Waldo game where I lose, followed by my eyes exploding due to fatigue. Some of the differences are subtle. It increases my respect for the followers and discoverers of this stuff. I don't think i'm into it enough to pay big bucks for a nice one. I don't think i'm educated enough to cherry pick one.
I think I have to remain happy with my Morgans as they are. I've gotten into half eagles. That is quite 'dangerous'. Deep-end morgan VAM collecting seems even more dangerous. Well, perhaps not. They seem both to have regions of extreme rarity and focus.
