http://vamworld.wikispaces.com/1887-P+VAM-12 Please don't say ignorant....Let's just say.....unknowing...The link I posted above will take you to wikispaces page for the VAM 12...It's a pretty common vam that has a Doubled eye as well as some very cool clashes.As well as some doubleing ( see the RIB in URIBUS )that can be pretty dramatic.

I have cherry picked 2 so far and haven't paid a premium for either...I think it's just a way to spice up the hunt for a nice coin.

That’s cool. I didn’t know about that site.

This is another I use when I see something that I can't find on the other page.

 

There are tons of VAMs...It is kind of focusing my collecting.
