TOP 100 Morgan
Silver Dollar Coin Books
|
|
|
|
If
you are an advanced collector of Morgan
and Peace silver dollars, or just want to
learn more about how to identify, buy, and sell rare silver
dollar varieties, you’ve come to the right place. These
are silver dollars
that in many cases are several times rarer than the keys dates
to the Morgan and/or Peace silver dollar series (ie. 1893
S, or 1934 S), but can be “cherrypicked” for common
silver dollar prices, or purchased for far less than the key
dates. We, in the Society of Silver Dollar Collectors (SSDC) believe
these VAM
designated coins will appreciate at a much
faster rate than the traditional keys to each series so that
you too can “VAM
IT!” and Find a Fortune. The key
is knowledge, and one of our favorite sayings is "Knowledge
is King!"

If
you don’t already own the Top
100 Morgan Silver Dollar Varieties: The VAM Keys
by Michael S. Fey, Ph.D. and Jeff Oxman, (this is perhaps
the best place to start. With this little pocket guidebook
you will learn:
- Which
are the rarest, most popular and desirable Morgan
Dollar varieties-The VAM Keys.
- How
to quickly and easily identify rare Morgan
dollar varieties in your collection, in your dealer’s
case, or at coin shows.
- How
much rare die varieties are worth as compared
to the price for common coins with the same date, mintmark
and grade.
- Whether
your coin is among the finest known, and an estimate of
its rarity-the number of extant pieces thought to exist.
THIS IS
A VALUABLE AND NECESSARY REFERENCE FOR COLLECTORS, DEALERS,
RESEARCHERS, AND LIBRARIES.

The Big VAM Encyclopedia
|
|
|
An important library reference for the advanced Morgan
and Peace silver dollar collector is the 4th edition
of the Comprehensive
Catalog And Encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace Dollars
by Leroy C. Van
Allen & A.
George Mallis.
(hence the name VAM!).
This rather large encyclopedia lists all the known pairs of
dies, both common and rare, used to strike Morgan
& Peace silver dollars by VAM number. If you
don’t own a copy, I would highly recommend getting one. |
