			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Michael S. Fey PhD; Jeff Oxman</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/images/T/VAM-Book-Top-100-01.jpg" alt="" width="114" height="179" />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, this is the book for you. There are silver dollars that in many cases are several times rarer than the keys dates to the Morgan and/or Peace silver dollar series (i.e., 1893-S or 1934-S), but can be “cherrypicked” for common silver dollar prices, or purchased for far less than the key dates. If you, like many, believe these VAM designated coins will appreciate at a much faster rate than the traditional keys to each series, you too can “VAM IT!” and find a fortune using this book.</p>
<p>With this little pocket guidebook you will learn:</p>
<p>* Which are the rarest, most popular and desirable Morgan Dollar varieties-The VAM Keys.<br />
* How to quickly and easily identify rare Morgan dollar varieties in your collection, in your dealer’s case, or at coin shows.<br />
* How much rare die varieties are worth as compared to the price for common coins with the same date, mintmark and grade.<br />
* Whether your coin is among the finest known, and an estimate of its rarity-the number of extant pieces thought to exist.</p>

<p><span id="more-125"></span><strong>Red Book Coin Values</strong></p>
<p>Red Book coin values are found in the most widely used price guide available today. Originally published in 1946 by Whitman Books, A Guide Book of United States Coins: The Official Red Book of U.S. Coins, a.k.a., the Red Book, is the yearly guide that most collectors turn to first for essential information about their coins, including retail pricing. The first Red Book was written by Richard S. Yeoman and current editions are still edited by Kenneth Bressett, a colleague of Yeoman’s who has been working on every edition since 1959.</p>
<p>Current Red Books come with full-color photographs and detailed technical information, which help collectors discern and understand the values of their coins. The Red Book is the primary reference guide for coin collectors. Updated yearly, Red Book coin values also explain the history of certain coins as well as select records for coins sold at auction.</p>
<p>The Red Book is an invaluable tool for coin collectors and is still the most significant U.S. coin pricing guide in print today. At <a href="http://www.WizardCoinSupply.com">WizardCoinSupply.com</a>, we have great prices on the Red Book as well as every other type of coin book and coin pricing guide you might need. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please contact us and a member of our staff will be happy to help you.</p>
