It looks like it could be a VAM (variety Morgan) for instance the 1880 P (i assume that's what this is?) VAM 4 sounds like it has similar doubling...

It is possible that it is a RPD (1880/880 or 1880/80) or an Overdate (1880/79)! I know that it id dated 1880 but from which Mint? You might want to go to the Vam World website and check the known Repunched or Over Dates.

ROTFLMAO! Yeah but just think of all of the fun you will have when you find that one or more of your' Morgans are on the Hot 50 or Hit list 40 lists and have fetched some really high prices.
