    since i had a lil money again i planned on trying to pick up a 1809 classic head cent previously seen at a shop but to no avail "closed on wednesdays". i decided it was time to take a trip to one of the places less traveled since hes strickly a bullion dealer. anyway for a total of 53$ i got this 1801 S-224 and 1902 O morgan. the 1801 is VG scratched/rim bumps very nice dark chocolate. i managed to get it for 30. i got the 1902 O morgan as a change of mode for 20. i was trying to figure out the VAM but its not really my league. if anyone might know VAMs some of the die cracks you cant rly see - one beginning above the I in PLURIBUS and running thru BU - one beginning to the right of the D in UNITED thru the wing tip to S of STATES - one beginning at F in OF all the way to I in AMERICA.

    any comments/opinions appreciated.

    It's hard to tell from the pics, but on the reverse is it the 1 berry or 2 berry reverse? (Btw it looks like the near date to me).

    2 berries looks like this: VAMworld - 1902-O VAM-17 (See the 4th pic).
    1 berry looks like this: VAMworld - 1902-O VAM-26A (See the 3rd pic).

    Also is there any doubling on Liberty like this: VAMworld - 1902-O VAM-26
    (Doubling is very light and is found on Liberty's profile, see pic 1).
    This will help number things down.

    Can you believe collectors used to turn up their noses at coins with CUDs? It's nice.

    2 berries.
    i did not see any doubling in the obverse. the reverse would be a bit harder to say.

    i like it alot marshall. its my first piece with such a cud.
