Mark Stilson Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Trying for a vam convert. Just wondering have you checked if its a vam yet? Or here. There was a ton of 21 vams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCanadianM Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I just hi-res scanned the Morgan, I was getting nowhere looking at it w/o my magnifing glass. Perhaps you could take a look at them for me? Is there any premium for the 16 berry variety? I'm pretty sure I have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Majority of the vams don't fetch a premium. To me though they add a dimension to collecting morgans. A few of the ones listed in the redbook, hot 50, and top 100 do. There are some what can be id'ed by picture. (Tailbar, off center mint marks, or dates, etc.) Most of them you need in hand.

BigCanadianM Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I somehow missed your reply Mark I don't see myself being able to get my hands on that many Morgans to check for Vams, nor having enough dough!

Thanks for the reply! I'm not really into Morgans but I understand that one of the fun items in that series is searching out vams even in the "silver bullion" circulated coins.

tommyd Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Nice stuff! I always love the feel of old circs -- the years of oxidation seem to render a unique sort of feel to the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
