Help with an 1879 S Morgan Dollar VAM

Hello everyone!

Just taking a closer look at some coins here and noticed something interesting about this 1879 S (Reverse of 1879) Morgan Dollar. The coin is P/L or semi P/L with tons of die polish lines. The thing I noticed was some extra metal on the left middle of the 8 of the date.

I've been to the VAMWorld page HERE for 1879 S (Rev 79) VAMs...and can't seem to find the exact match. Can anyone help me out with this one? I'll include closeups of the date and MM...

Looks like just a die chip to me..

 

Ok, now I have to put some coffee on, so far you have the doubled 9 vam #16, so thats where I'll start, I'll be back shortly with the rest of the anwser ..

 

After one cup of coffee, now were up to vam 54 ..

 

I think thats it, start on vam 16 Double 9, http://www.vamworld.com/1879-S VAM-16 then click the vams that go with that vam, vam 54 is the only one to has the engraved 2 leaves like your does ...

 

Good night, and god bless everyone who stops by this thread ...

 

That coin is a DMPL too, at least from thoses images ..

 

This is one beautiful coin, my hats off to you sir .... Thats why I love seeing Morgans, and doing vams ..

 

Can I just say THANK YOU @Rick Stachowski !

It is a beauty - and it will be on eBay on Thursday as part of a consignment. So it's someone else's beautiful coin, and will soon belong to yet another excited collector...lol

 

Hey, send me a link to it on ebay, if the price is right I'll be the other collector ...
