Coin collectors have several ways of describing the many varieties seen on coins.
There are many terms to know, but one that keeps coming up for collectors of Morgan dollars is VAM.
What’s VAM (Van Allen-Mallis)?
It’s a term that categorically refers to the many varieties of Morgan silver dollars.
There are simply way too many different VAM varieties to list here, but you can read more about them in books like The Top 100 Morgan Dollar Varieties as well as online.

My love for coins and numismatics began when I was 11 years old. I primarily collect and study U.S. coins produced during the 20th century. I've also been studying meteorology and watching weather patterns for years. I enjoy sharing little-known facts and fun stuff about coins, weather, travel, health, and living green with others.
