About the mint mark... I can't tell from the photo. Okay, maybe it's my eyes. There were four different O's used on Morgans. Some years used...
I'm guessing MS64. I don't think it's a VAM 59 though. The 59 mint mark is a little lower.
Dr. Fey (author of the Top 100 Book) publishes a value guide every quarter. The Winter 2005 guide has these values for the 1900-P VAM 11.......
It's a 1900-P VAM 11. Doubled reverse, very noticeable in the arrows. [IMG] [IMG]

rujam, I heard back from another collector. He couldn't find a VAM 20, but did find a VAM 19. They share the same obverse die. He has the same...
Thanks Charlie. Do you what attribution service PCGS provides? Will they do research or all VAMs or only verify VAMs that are on their list? I...
Ouch. When did that happen? I believe you, but their website and forms still say $6. I think NGC will do it for $7. Maybe the new PCGS VAM...
I don't think he accepts coins for general attribution. I may be wrong. You could send him an email to confirm. The coins I send to Leroy are...
I sent Leroy Van Allen some coins last week. Got them back today. Four new discoveries! The 1902-O turns out to be a new reverse die. [IMG]...
That's great that your daughter has an interest in the hobby. My daughter had an interest for a short time, but seems to prefer her Gameboy. I...
Probably machine doubling, not to be confused with machine tripling. [IMG]
I just realized that you asked for the I and R numbers on a VAM 20, and not for me to re-list the definitions. Woops. VAM 20 I-3 R-4. I like...
The line under Liberty's neck is a clash mark from the eagle's wing on the reverse. Clashing is VERY common on Morgans. It happens when a blank...
It goes both ways. I'll be in debt to this forum and members for a long time to come. I just noticed Becky is logged on. She's a better...
There was a lot of machine doubling in 1922. Are the designer's initials under the neck doubled? How about the hair above TRUST?
Are the 4th, 5th, and 6th right stars doubled? How about the 6th and 7th left stars?
The thin single feather added on eagle's right side narrows it down quite a bit. I only see three reverse dies listed that match the image and...
Are those photos from a QX5? They look great. From what I recall, the reverse looks a little different from the VAM 18 photos I was reviewing...
The open nostril or overpolished nostril is on several 1878's. If you're looking at the 1878-P VAM 79 on the Hot 50 List, it's a 7TF. Yours is...
