I got this coin at auction this week, received it today and I think I may have got took. It was listed as 1880 over 79 Morgan Dollar. Photos were not great and no close ups. The full coin pics are the sellers. The close-ups are mine. I didn't pay a lot for it and since I didn't have this variety, well..... I'm not too familiar with this variety and having the coin in hand I'm hard pressed to see where it is an 80/79. I didn't find much online about it but a few photos that seem to confirm my thoughts. Are there any other markers that might identify this variety aside from the date?
You might try here, I do not see resemblance with the various 80/79 VAMS http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/Top_100_Morgan_VAMs
I would say so. I don't see any signs of the die lines on the obverse that would indicate 107. (same reverse).
Yes that's what I was wondering about. The sellers pictures aren't very good. I got another coin from him a while back.
Congrats! I Couldn't match mine with any VAM. No worries, the seller has agreed to make good. Just have to keep lookin I guess.
Dennis I love to see a clear shot of the mint mark when you recieve it. Nice pick up I like it alot. From mm placement it looks to be an omm D/S which one ill let you know
