    ok VAM collectors, what is this one listed as. The sparkle caught my eye so I picked it up. Once I had it in hand I seen the die breaks. Any attributes with this critter? Very noticeable die break that runs from the ES in states through the OF and down into the left wingtip

    Although Morgan Silver Dollars with Die Cracks are not generally issued VAM designation numbers, I believe that there may be a few that may have been given VAM designations due to having significant Die Cracks on the Obverse and Reverse! To receive a VAM designation number, a Morgan SIlver Dollar must have either a Die Break, Clashed Die or Counter Clashed Die Letters, have Double Die Doubling, have repunched Dates and/or Mintmarks, have re-cut Dates...Mottos or Legends, have Over Dates or Mintmarks, was struck from a Die or Dies that was/were modified from the original design or a combination of any of these.

    Couldn't tell you the VAM but it looks like it does have a nice die break there.
