<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 1208497, member: 31286&quot;]According to VAM world, VAM 9 is the first Morgan.&nbsp; There&#039;s a wonderful story there about how a reporter was present on March 11, 1878 when they began minting the Morgans - and in this story, only 303 pieces were struck before the die broke.&nbsp; &nbsp; However, the census at the bottom of the webpage lists 341?&nbsp;&nbsp; Obviously all of the existing coins couldn&#039;t be included in the census, and the census could have repeats, but it&#039;s pretty far off. </p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, the coin is listed as an I-2 , R-7, which makes sense if there were only 300 or so minted - but only an I-2? Very few are available on ebay (only one right now) and none in completed listings, and the on-line dealers I reviewed had very few - so it is a rare VAM - but why only an I-2 and what&#039;s with the census discrepency?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know more about this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
