    I picked up this nice looking 1878 8TF Morgan Dollar today. I figured why not do a guess the grade and VAM on this one. :)

    I had a feeling the VAMpires would nail this one without spilling a drop of blood. :)

    It is indeed an MS VAM-18. The strong doubling on both side of this one really drew me into it.

    Edit, it also has a lot of the scribble lines in the field of the reverse that are mentioned on VAMworld as being on some examples. They are pretty cool.
