You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

I got a good deal on......

#1 Unread post by typeviic »

an 1887 Morgan dollar in an ANACS holder. It is a VAM 11 (1887-P VAM-11 Doubled 18-7, 7 in Denticles). http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1887-P_VAM-11
However, PCGS does not show it in their price guide (they only show VAM 1B and VAM 12). NGC does not list it as well. Does that mean that it is impossible to get Variety/Attribution through those two companies, for the VAM 11 that I have?

Most VAMS do not add value to a coin, but you can look at sold auctions to see what they have sold for.

If they don't add Value then why have designations afterall ?

The designations are a record of the various Morgans that exist.

Besides...think of it...each VAM is a way a husband can legitimize owning more than one of each Morgan date/MM to his wife when she asks why he is spending so much on coins!
