D'oh! Yeah, I'm not sure why the thread tools disallow edits so quickly. I routinely fix typos that are a year+ old on other forums and miss the...

Another 1880-s that may be that little bit more reflective side by side with another MS Morgan... [ATTACH]
Ditto! I'm waiting on a big truck of money to show up at my door first though.
I agree that 3a seems like the best candidate, but I'm curious why the die scratch is missing from the reverse. Could the obverse have been...
There are die cracks that run through the tips of both wings, and veer up sharply towards the edge as seen on the VAM-47: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
