VAMWorld isn't organized very well for 1878-S. The key to attributing these is usually a combination of the 'r' in 'trust' (whether or not it's...
Image analysis software will only be able to attribute varieties if the images for doing so are of sufficiently high quality. When this happens,...
Ironically, there may be VAMs that are duplicates of others that were listed for traits that appeared due to die wear. These duplicates would...
I've seen records of Morgan dollar die usage, in the form of mint logs, from a couple years that show an average of about 130,000 per die. In the...
Looks like counting machine damage. Pity.
No. Just a big, red X sign in the parking lot.
5.1 is 10% light. That's quite a bit. By comparison, a VG Morgan dollar has lost only 3% of its weight to wear.

I'll stay within the given scale and say 10. They're attractive, big, silver, approachable, challenging, and interesting.
In order for it to have reeds and be authentic, it would have to be 90% silver and struck on a struck dime. I see no signs of the dime undertype...
The edge of the obverse between EO looks a little funny, now that you mention it. Does the edge of the coin look a little smashed and repaired there?
The animation can be slowed down, but I'd have to make a new GIF with longer transition times between frames. The number of frames wouldn't have...
XF-AU. The "in fingers" picture looks better than the other one.
No reason you can't be both. ;) I'll guess 64, but wouldn't buy it as such without seeing it in hand, since the prime focal areas of the obverse...
AU53 or 55. Can't tell much else from the pics.
I'd say it's a die chip. The die looks pretty fresh as there still appears to be some cameo contrast, which isn't common for 1958.
It's like I'm coming late to the party and all that's left is Hamm's, but I'll comment about the coin, anyway. The obverse rim near RT looks wide...
ANACS toning from the white holders usually affected the part of the coin closest to the label. On Morgan dollars, you'd see a purplish crescent...
It would seem 80 is used for samples that are not graded.
Separate names with a comma.
