New Morgan VAM should I submit?

Should I submit this coin??

"Miss Liberty's hairline (mainly the "V" of her hair below the bun) between the Eagle's left wing (on your right as you are viewing the coin) and the Wreath. There are also facial elements (lips, chin and maybe more) between the Eagle's right wing and the Wreath. Also, there are remnants of Miss Liberty's neckline protruding from the middle of the Eagle's right wing to near the "n" in "In" of "In God We Trust" and there appears to be something to the Southwest of the feather fletching of the arrows."

you may want to post full front and back photos straight on. Based on the photos you posted on another site I will say MS-64

 

Too me yours loks like a large O.
I would check it against the VAM's listed, before you go submitting it. Also @messydesk is the MAN. He might be able to help.

Yes, your right. I was going to contact @messydesk. Im learning about VAMs and thought maybe this is common and didn't want to seem stupid asking him LOL but your right, we all have to learn somehow. I will take better front back pics before I do. He probably gets hundreds of dumb questions just like this LOL

I learned a lot this round, Thanks

 

At this point the reverse appears to be the stronger side. Full pic of the obverse would help a lot. It will grade in my opinion. Good luck

 

NICE Morgan. In that condition, definitely a slab candidate, if that is your inclination…if the 63-64 holds it currently lists for $300-600 at NGC.

As @Pickin and Grinin mentioned, check the listed VAMs again. As I understand it, clashing alone does not merit additional VAM assignments.

Personally…I only have one slabbed Morgan, a 1884CC that came in OGP in the 1980s. The rest are in capsules. I can take them out and work with them…better pictures with controlled glare, etc. Also, the heft and feel (with white cotton gloves) is very satisfying…jmho…Spark

 

Yeah I think its just an early stage VAM-24, I did ind that but after replies, it has to be. Thanks for your help, much appreciated

 

Pictures I have not mastered yet LOL Grateful for the community help.

 

Well, I think any 79-O that looks so nice should be submitted, regardless of the VAM. This one looks solid 64.

 

Here is the original pics I purchased while I try pics again, I took a chance on this coin so thanks Im happy with 64 but would love 65.

 

Beautiful morgan pictures aren't the best but there good enough for me overall its very clean and I think it deserves gem.

 

heft and feel for sure, I like that too

 

Im so glad I joined, you guys are the best.........

 

It is a beautiful Morgan with nice stand-out clashing! I wouldn't hesitate to submit the coin. At least you'll know just what you have.

 

Yeah your right, Im going to submit to NGC. Im in for a benny so its all upside, hoping for the best LOL second opinions are soooooooo appreciated, we all think more highly of our coins sometimes lol ground based is so much better.

 

I wouldn't submit it to NGC or PCGS because they don't attribute all Morgan dollars. Only ANACS attributes all Morgan dollars.

 

Try backing off on the lights a little. It will show more of the details.
From your last photos I would think it grades somewhere between 63 and 64. I don't think it would grade Gem.

 

I don't see where the clash has transferred lettering, which is required for a listing. That said, the clashing that is there can be used as a fingerprint of sorts when comparing with other listed varieties. 79-O is not an easily attributed date. There is often doubling on the left of the 9. The O looks like a medium O, not a large one. There may be doubling on the Phrygian cap top that might help with an attribution.
