1882 O Reverse Die Break

That's definitely a die crack. That is a pretty common spot to see die cracks originating from on Morgans.

I took the picture in direct sunlight, not by a lamp, at around noonish. I do appreciate the debate as I am learning lots./ thanks all!!

 

I went to the VAM website noted earlier. Here is a better pic of the similar diecrack in te same area. This variety also states a die crack over the right wing which I later found on my coin. Pic on top is copied from VAM web site, pic on bottom is

my other diecrack from my coin just as its described in the VAM site.

 

You should be able to see by the different angles if that is all raised or the parts I circled are incused.

BTW, noonish most everywhere in the US only means less angle rather than none. Hawaii might be the exception.

 

Which VAM is it that you found on VAMWorld? I believe yours is an EDS of the same VAM.
