[QUOTE="CohibaCris, post: 7123, member: 904"]Thanks so much for the eyes and ideas. After looking at other San Francisco Morgans, it appears that there is a fat and skinny curve in the S, and that the Mint officials didn't pay that close of attention when they stamped the die. GDJ, I think you're right: that mintmark is flipped. Jody - a tripod and time delay shutter. Maybe it is the coffee, but I cannot get a reliable pic from my hands! ND - I think you're right on the varieties thing. I ran into a VAM18 1878CC, and I begged my local dealer to show me the difference. After waiting about an hour and a half for the traffic to die down, it took about 20 minutes of coaching to see it. My only concern is this - My local dealer seems possessed with VAMs, and I don't think I can handle another addiction :D Thanks again, Cris[/QUOTE]
