That is too funny!!! You now have the second known "Beauty Mark" Morgan! However, you have the nicest known 1879-S VAM 48A. Mine is raw, but I...
I don't know how you would get this coin recognized. GDJMSP always has good suggestions. I've only identified new Morgan and Peace varieties....
...how about a 1A. This auction has a very close-up photo. Just remember it's in mint state.
All you need to look for is an understanding and patient wife (spouse/significant-other). My wife tells me I'm spending too much time looking at...
Looks nice. I like die cracks, especially if you can get a series of early, mid, and late die states. I think he needs a drool cup.
I'm not the most experienced grader. I'd guess at VF25 or so. As a strange coincidence, I just had a knock on the door from the mailman. Had...
Here is a listing on eBay of the same coin. It's in mint state, but it will give you a nice picture to compare. I forgot one of my favorite...
How much detail do you want? I collect Morgan and Peace dollar VAMs. There are three lists that VAM collectors reference. The Top 100 and the...

I have the two album Dansco set. You have empty slots? :) I put an extra coin in the empty holes, reverse side up. I've been hearing a lot...
Has anyone ever seen an 1879-S Morgan with a large die chip under her nose? I couldn't find a VAM listing for it. It has a 'C' reverse. You can...
Just found out... it's a VAM-14 "Shortened Reverse Rays". It's listed on the updates. I missed it. Doc said I needed bifocals over a year ago....
the lines are raised, not incuse.
I posted this in another forum yesterday. Sorry for the duplication. It's a 1925-P Peace dollar. The reverse die has been overpolished....
Does anyone get the VAM-E newsletter? If you don't, you can for free. Great weekly info on VAMs. Delivered through email. It has an...
I'm glad I could never afford any of them... I think :confused: I just read that someone at NGC knew about this a year ago.... and NGC...
I'd guess MS60 for the obverse and MS63 on the reverse.... to net an MS61.
Someone else pointed out the impact to the Top 100 Morgan list. Those three coins are on it. Some of the markings shown in the PCGS article can...
