<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 25881016, member: 151874"]I did it again... I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy any more 1878 (P) Morgan dollars but this one... I've been eyeing this one up for a few weeks now. It isn't necessarily even a true upgrade because my current slot is filled with a mid-low MS coin already (61-63) but I'm a sucker for PL (or super shiney) Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm beginning to dislike my decision to buy this solely because I feel like it's my obligation to identify the VAM, and 1878 (P) is not what I consider "fun" vamming. Regardless, I'll figure it out eventually... especially if anyone here is bored and cares to chime in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The nostril is annihilated, no disconnected leaves, doubling on LIBERTY, missing wing feathers (eagle's right side), no die cracks, doubling on E PLURIBUS UNUM, high 1 and doubled, maybe doubling on "878", maybe slight doubling on motto... I really need to stop buying 1878 (P) Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a small batch of pictures from my phone from earlier.
