<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nesvt, post: 975406, member: 1749&quot;]Don&#039;t get too hung up on the different positions of each &#039;C&#039;. I believe they were punched into the working die by hand...one at a time. Several Morgan varieties have different placed C&#039;s. Here is an image of the mint mark on an 1889-CC VAM 5 &quot;Dropped C&quot;. </p><p>With that said, I can&#039;t tell if it&#039;s real or fake from the images. VAM 5 has a far date. The date on your coin looks to be in the normal position. I&#039;m not aware of an 1889-CC VAM with normal date and that odd looking mint mark. I think the date digits look a bit odd in the image. Spacing between 88 looks wide.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.vamworld.com/file/view/1889ccfardaterev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
