Regarding the doubing on the date, are you referring to the &quot;ghost image&quot; below the numbers? If so, that is relatively common on Morgans that have toned, and it is not doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the mintmark, there are a number of listings on VAMWorld for repunched mintmarks (RPM&#039;s). Since your photo is so blurry, the only thing I can suggest is that you compare your coin (in-hand) to the listings to see if you can find a match from the descriptions. Keep in mind, that when trying to match a Morgan (or Peace) to as a specific variety, you often need to examine the entire coin for markers that associate it with a specific die pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the VAMWorld listings for the 1881-S.........</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.vamworld.com/1881-S+VAMs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vamworld.com/1881-S+VAMs" rel="nofollow">http://www.vamworld.com/1881-S+VAMs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
