[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 88460, member: 4381"]OK I got this 1878 7/8TF S$1 VAM-31 7/OTF MS 63 Morgan today slabed by NGC which I purchased on line. But for the life of me I can't see anyt double tail feathers. I ran out to Kings Highway and purchased the best magnifying glass I could find and still no doubles to inticate a 7/8 tf. I've researched for a few hours on the net about Morgans VAM and 7/8 reverses. There is not as much information on the net as there can be. There isn't much in the Red Book either. So I borke down and set up my scanner which can magnify much better than my eyes at my advancing age. The Scanner and GNU/Linux did the rest and I can show you these two pics plus the bigger tif graphics I left on my web server at [url]http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/[/url] What is a VAM-31 and how can I confirm that I have one. And what makes this coin a 7/8TF (7/OTF) Now that the scanner is up, maybe I'll get a couple of other pics on line. BTW - this coin went for $125.00 The graphics on the website are MUCH more detailed. Ruben[/QUOTE]
