[QUOTE="skbrooks1369, post: 1346018, member: 27175"]I am having a REALLY hard time finding a match for my 1880-S Morgan. [ATTACH]155505.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]155506.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]155507.vB[/ATTACH] Only a couple crappy pictures, but here is a detailed description. Obverse - Normal date placement. Profiles seems slightly doubled, with a little metal displacement on the chin near the lips, and a little metal displacement on the bottom lip. Outside of the whole phrygian cap slightly doubled along with some of the hair in the back (on the outside). 2 diagonal die scratches in the ear. [B]** Most importantly ** [/B] The cotton bolls and some of the leaves (the 2 below the bolls) are very easily tripled, possibly quadrupled or quintupled. The stars on the right appear tripled to quadrupled or quintupled. It appears to be similar to [url]http://www.vamworld.com/1880-S+VAM-92[/url] because the Reverse is distinct: [B]Reverse C3b –[/B] Normal die of C3 type with very large centered and upright VI S mint mark. Die gouge above L in DOLLAR. It has the die gouge above L in DOLLAR. Large centered mintmark. The thing I can't figure out is the cotton bolls and lower leaves. It doesn't match any vam out there. I can see quadrupling if not quintupling. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a couple photos from my phone, but I know they're not good. From the description alone, does it match or ring a bell with anyone (namely the cotton boll characteristics)? Thanks in advance, Spencer I'll try and get some more detailed pictures and get this onto the vamworld forum.[/QUOTE]
