Broken Branch Mint Set

By LionCutter

Being a collector (non-expert & VAMweenie) of Morgan & Peace Dollar VAMs over the years has made me appreciate about what is in the details. I have always been fond of breaks, cracks, clashes, gouges etc.... but when I see it over a mintmark, I have to have it (within reason). It is just plain fun to collect. So, I have decided to start a new set called the "Broken Branch Mintmark Set" so named by our own VAMworld member Old Collector Coins (Lance). It must have a die break or die crack either touching or protruding through the mintmark (CC, O, S, D). As new discoveries come about with this set, they will be entered in. To qualify into the set, There must be a picture of it on its VAMworld page before acceptance into the set. I will from time to time update and attach to thread. HAVE FUN!
