1904-O Morgan Dollar Series Attribution Guide The new 1904-O Morgan Dollar Series Attribution Guide, Revision 1 was released this week by its author, Alan Scott.

The original was published by Scott in 2010.

In the foreword by John Roberts, vice president of attributions for ANACS, it was pointed out how important it is for numismatists to share information.

"Alan Scott's present volume continues in that same spirit of sharing," Roberts wrote. "It also represents an emerging frontier in VAMs, both for the collector and the researchers.'

According to Roberts, every known die marriage and major stage for the 1904-O series is catalogued in the revision.

Leroy Van Allen, cofounder of the VAM hobby, wrote in a testimonial in the book that the publication was "a must have guide for the collectors."

The book lists four new VAMs or stages, changes the VAM numbers on two coins, and delists two previously noted coins.

It also contains new photographs of four VAMs and a series of articles written by Scott about the 1904-O series.

It is expected that Scott will be selling copies of the 279- page guide for $30 plus postage and handling, which is less than the cost of printing.

Since the book is individually printed based upon demand, pre-print orders may be made by an email to: sales@vamsandmore.net .
