1884 O Morgan dollar

In the first picture it shows a crack on it is this an error or something else?

It is a die clash, not a crack. Scroll down to the full coin image and you will see an example of the clash. Yours is not this coin but you can look through all of the listed VAMs and try to match other markers that may be on your example.

Hey thanks that actually looks really similar to mine. I’ve have much to learn

 

That is a very heavy clash. Very nice. It is a common area, as far as clashes go.

 

Yes it has it in 2 spots above the left wing and under the right wing

 

Well let's figure out the vam
Need a full shot of the reverse let's see those clashes

 

Definitely need better photos. It looks to be a far date, MM centred, upright and oval. Clash under chin and possibly bottom serif of N clashed at neck. Cant see clashed S at hair vee, tripled 1 or doubling inside left of MM, but images are not the best. Could possibly be Vam-30A

 

Go through these clashed dies OP .

Wow it looks exactly like 1884-O VAM-5A Far Date, Clashed Obverse G

 

Does this give it more value?

 

Check to see if it has the clashed " st " of TRUST in the area I highlighted . If so then it's 5B .

 

I would also look at Vam 23B which also has the doubled tops of 1-4 and the die crack above the cap in addition to the other pick up points

 

I don't think it's 23 the placement on the 1 in the date on 23 is farther to the right according to the arrows marked on vanworld site .
