GTG: 1878 Morgan (VAM too!)

GTG and VAM of this 1878 Morgan. I'm adding two pictures of the same coin, first mine, then the sellers. I struggled to capture the nice golden brown toning that circles both the obverse and reverse but does not extend beyond the edge of the stars. I think my reverse shot does a decent job of it.

That seller's picture is almost false advertising. But I love the old gal. She's a bit beat up. MS63 might even be a little generous on her, based on your pictures. But she's a very respectable one. Ah, the VAM, it's just a die crack. VAM or not, I'm really liking her.

 

I'll agree with the seller's photos being a bit misleading. The in-hand vs sellers photos do seem a little bit off.
Edit: but the seller did include the slab's grade and the cert # for verification. No photo was given by the certification company.

 

I'm at MS63 and you have my VAM attribution.

 

Meaning you have the same coin or that you submitted the actual attribution?

I smell a hot 50

 

@SuperDave
@Paddy54 (don't spoil it )

 

Not spoiling it.

 

Here are some more photos that may or may not help the attribution.

Can we answer now

Here's a tip if you're trying to attribute it. Only look at the hot-50 list 8TF's

 

Yes, by all means provide your thoughts on the attribution. I only mentioned to two specific people not to spoil it because I know I've told at least one of them the actual grade.

 

Let's give it more time.

Another hint guys, the VAM number has a letter after it

 

The pics didn't come up on my Phone, I am pretty sure I have the vam.
