It's going to take a lot more than just a picture of a die crack unless you're really lucky.

 

First thing we need is a image of the date and then the Mint-mark ..

Also take a image of the obverse & reverse too ...

 

Hey Book, this is for you and matches your personality perfect too .

Your just like beating a dead horse .

 

Good job, slick... I hadn't even posted in this thread, yet I'm beating a dead horse. Stop trying to play cute and at least try to think before you post.

 

I think it's this one. BTW Vamers Good Luck. Nothing much on this coin to ID it or I would post the date, mint mark and VAM#

Cool, someone did.

 

?? I don't understand

 

I have a coin struck from the same dies. IMO, neither coin is "worth" a VAM # as it adds no value to this particular coin. In theory EVERY Morgan could be assigned a VAM and I'm sure many collect them. Unfortunately, in my experience 90% of the Morgan's that are assigned VAM's bring no premium and are not worth trying to ID. I'll bet an experienced professional such as John Roberts would take a long time to ID this coin. If I'm correct, ANACS would loose money on this attribution.

 

I'm not trying to bring a premium on this coin, I was just wondering if it was a VAM

 

We need an image of the mint-mark like this

 

I've already told you I don't have anything that takes a picture like that @Rick Stachowski

 

I think @Insider is just funning with you.

There is not enough detail in the photos to help MOST of us identify the VAM. You need to remember that die cracks on Morgan dollars are very common because 130+ tons of striking pressure was needed to produce them. Therefore, you won't find most VAM's attributed based on a die crack.

Ok,thx

 

Yes, it CAN BE a VAM. Write to VAM World and if they have not seen one of these before, they might assign a new VAM# like: 1884-O VAM#417, die cracks.

 

I think it would have to have a lot more features

 

You already posted one, but it's not straight, that why I posted the one I did ...

 

No offense intended, but I think you will have to go to VAmWorld and examine each listing since you have the coin in hand.

Since there is more than one person responding in this thread, it would be nice if everybody used the "+Quote" or "Reply" buttons to identify the post each person is answering.
