VAMWorld 2.0

Prayers for the whole town.

My interpretation: I respectfully call your attention to the fact that some person at the U.S. Mint at San Francisco has been tampering with dies sent there for coinage. I have discovered this upon examination of those dies returned from last years order. To what extent this may have been carried I...

Looks like the San Francisco Mint tampered with more than Morgan Dollar dies and Charles Barber was not too happy about it.

With the recent passing of Ron, I have decided to re-start my search for a few of the Crack City residents. I wanted to ask if this particular Vam is an easy find or more rare. Thanks in advance for any information.

Ron would like that.

Congrats on your new DC. I'll take care of the new VAM pages.

Sorry to hear this. I know Ron was struggling with MS for quite a while. Condolences to his family and RIP, Ron.

I added him to the "In Memoriam" section of the Wiki and linked to this thread.

Thanks JB.

On January 11th VAMWorld lost another great member. MS is a horrible disease, but you fought one hell of a fight. Hopefully, one day there will be a cure. Prayers go out to his wife Linda. R.I.P. my friend.

Nice picks.

It's a done deal.

I'll get it. What is the VAM?

Cool find.

Work continues on my 1900-S die study and one other topic.

Find the 3A before I do. I think it is a single altered coin, but is out there. I have looked for it for decades.

Think there is a very good chance that you are right about the VAM-3A.

For all the bad news associated with COVID-19, it's kind of ironic that 2020 has turned out to be the best year that I have had with new picks. The local B&M coin gallery has really came through. Listed below are some of my top picks for the year. 1. 1889-P VAM-23A (MS-62). 7th known specimen. 2. 18...
