<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 729749, member: 16402"]Doubling is common for many Morgan dates, just see how many 1902 O VAMs have doubling in the title <a href="http://www.vamworld.com/1902-O+VAMs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vamworld.com/1902-O+VAMs" rel="nofollow">VAMworld - 1902-O VAMs</a> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. So while the doubling is going to be a characteristic of the VAM it is, but it probably won't be a key indicator. </p><p><br /></p><p>So for instance, I see the doubling on the motto, but for the 1902 O there are a number of VAMs that have doubling on the motto, so I couldn't be sure exactly what VAM it is. </p><p> </p><p>As for the S, it looks like just post mint damage to me. On a mint state coin the hit would probably be much easier to identify, but as it circulates it tends to dull it out, and blend into the design. And besides that, I wouldn't know what else would cause an incuse error like that besides a struck through, and imo it doesn't look like a struck through either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
