Hello, I listed the item on eBay and put a large tag just to get a feel for offers and so I can show you guys the pictures easily.

I can’t tell what the mint is, can anybody clear it up for me? It sort of looks like a S to me.
Any advice or comments would be appreciated , thank you.

unless it's a VAM I see nothing.

 

There a raised marking right where the mint is suppose to be,did you look at all pictures?

 

Looks like a worn S to me. Welcome to CT.

 

That's a whole lot of money for an average Morgan!

 

I’m not expecting that price I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t bought while I was getting information

 

I'm not sure what error you're referring to as I'm not seeing anything stand out. A 1892-S had 1,200,000 minted and according to the Red Book in EF-40 it's a $300 coin. To me this is more in the 20-25 grade range. Way overpriced.

 

Not sure if it’s an S or two mints overlapped possibly?

 

worn mint mark

 

S?

 

It's an S mintmark and looks to be heavily cleaned. No error.

 

I didn’t clean it and received them from a 95 year old man who had them stored , but who knows

 

All Morgan dollars up to 1921 have a VAM attribution. And the 1892-s VAM5 has a doubled s/s mintmark attributed to it. It's hard to see but it is listed. However looking at your coin it would be extremely difficult to ascertain what sort of mintmark it is due to the extremely blunt, polished looking surface to it and from the fotos I can't see anything else that compares to VAM5

I told you it's a worn S.

 

Worn and polished S

 

Normal 1892-S that has XF40 detail but has been harshly cleaned.

 

I'd like to know what the error is.

 

The OP is questioning I think if it is a doubled mintmark.

 

correct, from far it looks like a really worn S, but close up it looks like a square filled in pretty much.
