<p>[QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 179250, member: 7248"]hi and a very happy new year to all. i feel somewhat dumb asking this but hey, its never stopped me from opening my mouth before!.....i am having difficulty learning how to vam attribute. i don't have very many morgans...12 actually. all uncirculated from ms62-65. i seem to be missing something as most all pics in book refer to double dates, ect. is everything else considered normal? what else should i look for? also, i have an 1886 p mint which seems to have a die break thru bottom 2 left obverse stars thru 1 and 8 in date. another from u and n on right obverse curving around back thru libertys bottom of hair,another appears to run at top from u thru liberty's cap. it is even visible in the cap. i don't have a scanner or pic capability yet so i can't show it. it seems to be a very light raised metal line in both cases. is this just a planchet flaw or metal flow or die break? the coin is nice and lustrous. graded anacs ms64.. to me, it looks as if metal flowed in to cracks when minted but i have not studied enough to know....thank you all so very much....steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
