Question - VAM Varieties and Morgan Dollars 0

[caltx01]

Is there a direct correlation between Morgan Silver Dollar VAM varieties and mint, or were there circumstances where a particular VAM variety might have occurred at different mints?

 

Thanks All!

Van Allen-Mallis (VAM) varieties are mostly combinations of obverse and reverse dies, or sub-varieties of these. Varieties are unique to each mint. That is, different mints did not reuse the same dies.

Thanks, RWB.  Do you know if there has been a mapping of VAM varieties to mints?

The look in the left column. You'll see Morgan and Peace dollars by date and mint. The listing are extensive -- and sometimes bewildering.

VAMWorld will be a great resource. And the guys over there on the chat boards are very nice and helpful. If Morgan VAMs are your thing that is the best place for resources in my opinion.  They have great tools for identifying the various varieties.
