-Editor
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:
