Only two days after we went to the dentist, and after getting those wonderful coins, our grandparents, who live across the country, in Arizona, came to New Jersey for the annual two-week visit (they are here as I type). As we arrived from going to the airport and back, we took their luggage to the little building in which they stay. As we were in the 'Stoneroom,' my grandfather passed me some kind of copper token and asked, "What do think you could do with this?" He handed it over. I saw that it was not a copper token, but rather a Morgan Dollar, buried under a half inch of glue on the reverse, and yellow varnishing on the obverse. "I will have to do some researching, but I will get the glue off." I replied. I did some researching, and found that acetone will get the glue off. We also found out that Finger Nail Polish Remover is made out of acetone! I then went up stairs, got some Finger Nail Polish Remover, and a bin, put the Morgan Dollar, obverse facing up, and poured the Nail Polish Remover in. Ten minutes later, I came upstairs, and the Varnishing came right off! I then flipped the coin. Ten minutes later, nothing happened. An hour later, I took a pocketknife and carefully scraped off some soggy glue. Occasionally wood chunks would come off with the glue. The last fragments of the glue came off 24 hours later!

What does VAM on Morgan Dollars mean? I have seen VAM-2, VAM-5, and VAM-10, and am wondering what that means. Does anybody here know? If so, please comment and tell me.
