By Michael S. Fey PhD; Jeff Oxman

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.

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.

The book is a compilation of the last 10 years of Rare Coin Investments’ Top 100 Insights and Value Guide quarterly newsletter. It includes the first Fall, 1997 Value Guide with prices for Top 100 Morgan dollars as well as a current Value Guide to compare how prices of Top 100 coins have changed over the past decade since publication of the Top 100 book.

A Decade of Top 100 Insights offers wisdom, experience and knowledge from the world’s most recognized experts on the subject of Morgan and Peace dollars. According to Jeff Oxman, Founding President of the SSDC, “Peruse the pages of this book, and you’ll get a glimpse of VAM history unfolding before your eyes!”

Noted author Bill Fivaz states “Michael Fey has put his considerable talents to work in assembling all the pertinent data to make your quest for those elusive VAMs as easy as can be”. Leroy Van Allen advises, “This book is a ‘must buy’ for all silver dollar collectors and dealers”.

The book offers digital images of new discoveries, ultra rare 8TF varieties, attribution guides to 1878-s B1 reverse (long nocks), 1888-O Oval O’s, 1899-O “micro o” varieties, and Hot 50 and Top 50 varieties. Also provided are several Condition Census (Top 6 certified coins), population reports and analyses, reportes on new record prices, and insights into the best Top 100 varieties in the most optimal grades for both collecting and investing. (more…)

In this monumental new hardbound work, printed and bound in the U.S.A., you will find 448 pages covering each year and the known die marriages for those years, along with background of the early mint. Included are quick finding charts and pictorials, as well as, oversized color photos of every die marriage. Along with new rarity ratings and a new condition census, as an added bonus there are in-depth studies on the rare 1823s and 1827s.

The appendixes are chock full of interesting information on among other things, patterns, private re-strikes, error coins, and the mysterious E & L countermarks, along with several useful charts, die re-marriage listings, and much, much more!!

The finished book is slated to hopefully be back from the printer before the ANA show in Baltimore and is now on sale at an introductory pre-publication price of just $79.00 delivered. This price is only good until July 15th, at which time it will be raised to $89.00 plus postage. Get yours ordered today!
