There are some interesting oddities here. Doubled denticles above the N in uNum. Tripled denticles (or some other kind of clash) in the denticles...
What do you make of this coin? As with others, I'm working on pegging down the VAM. But, I'd like to start out by saying this is a fairly pretty...
Here are a few of the things that stand out to me. The mintmark seems to have a diagonal strike through the loop. And there's a strange dimple on...

I picked this up the other day, and think it is a clear 7 feathers variety. But I'm less sure of the VAM. Where do you start on ID'ing the VAMs...
Thanks. I hadn't come across that term before. A search led to this interesting page: https://www.monstertonedmorgans.com/all-about-toned-morgans
I'm going to pick one up that nice someday. I like the design, but circulation was NOT kind to it.
The large S seems to have a ding near the center, unfortunately (although this could be from the die - the fields are so pristine on this I have...
Would you consider this worthy of a Deep Mirror Proof Like designation? Where do you draw the line on a Morgan for those attributes? I'm also...
I'm leaning towards VAM-53 based on the large S and the die chips. Thoughts? Also, any idea what causes the interesting inverse shadow effect...
This wasn't particularly remarkable until I took it under the scope: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
VAM-6 looks like a solid match. However, I don't see any sign of the die gouge noted on the description: http://vamworld.com/wiki/1880-O_VAM-6...
I think the composition of the bi-metallic coin would matter a great deal in how accepting the population is of it. Many of the countries with...
I thought it looked a bit PL but that you were probably going to zing us with a crazy high grade like MS-65. AU58 PL seems appropriate from what...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The 2nd 8 has something odd going on to the right of the center. What would cause that? There's an odd die clash above the...
The reverse has some major doubling that I missed at first glance. I'm leaning towards VAM-10? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Got my new scope. And, after sifting through a pile of Morgans, I think I found the same coin. It's amazing how looking through different optics a...
Some new pics with the endoscope. Found some scratches that I thought were die cracks until I examined them closer. Definitely an example of how a...
I didn't mean as a collectible product. As a circulating coin. If we're getting 5 different presidential dollar designs in a year, or 5...
And here's some closeups on the mintmark. Are there any other telltales I should examine for the 1882 O varieties? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
