[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 414076, member: 13987"][b]Vam-190a R5[/b] Hey all... just wanted to say I have finally confirmed this to be a VAM-190a (R5). Short Nock Reverse Parallel Feather Reverse Die Crack Die clash of n next to Liberty's neck (this is very hard to see) Missing Nostril This was hard for me to diagnose because the die crack on the reverse was not listed as an attribute, although it should be as it makes this VAM much easier to spot. You would think the nostril would give it away, but there is a variation of of VAM 131 that has the same diagnosis. Furthermore, the die clash is nearly impossible to find (need a better magnifier).... This also may be because of the die state of my particular coin. I have reason to believe mine is an example of a later die state than the one pictured on VAMworld due to my die crack being much more pronounce and longer. Also I thought it neat to mention there are no "certified", and attributed examples of this die state higher than MS61, and only one in that grade. Mine is a 62, but not attributed (except by me). At first I thought this could be good, until I realized VAMquest sold a PCGS certified old holder MS63, unattributed for a mere $90....... Finally enough squinting paid off, and it is neat to know my otherwise common Morgan has a great deal of "uniqueness" to it. Anybody know what the market price might be?[/QUOTE]
