[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 98243, member: 1749"]That's great that your daughter has an interest in the hobby. My daughter had an interest for a short time, but seems to prefer her Gameboy. I need to yank out the batteries. And your wife actually encourages you? You're a lucky man! I just ran the 1878 8TF Attribution Wizard. I answered a few questions based on your photos. It came back as VAM 20. I also have the Hot 50 Attribution Wizard CD. Ran that and it also came back as VAM 20. That die gouge near Liberty's eye is very interesting. There are other Morgans that were given distinct VAM designations just because of a similar die gouge (like the 1878-S "worm eye"). I sent a note to a 1878-P 8TF collector.
