Lost Money!

I have been collecting coins for over 10 years now... Started with Eagles and have now moved into the Morgans. My skills have improved over the years but I have still yet to master the different types of cleaned coins. There are not many resources out there with pictures that show you exactly how to determine each type. After a solid 8 years collecting Morgan's I am still falling prey to these detials graded coins. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Also the VAM grading option... There has to be 1000 or more VAMs out there and which ones are worth the additional fees is another question? Any references or input here would be of great help... Thanks to all that reply!
