<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1695010, member: 15445&quot;]There were no coin shows for me this last weekend so we spent some time on Saturday organizing the collection.&nbsp; Here is my story......</p><p><br /></p><p>An old page of Morgans was lying on the table &amp; I saw an 1878 labeled “Reverse of 1879”.&nbsp; This got me to thinking about the “Reverse of 1879”....&nbsp; I couldn’t remember if the reverse of 79 was the one that has the tapered arrow feather or if it had the parallel arrow feathers.&nbsp; (Don’t you hate it when a piece of your memory-bank just disappears from your brain!).&nbsp; In any event, I picked-up the one labeled “reverse of 79” and another 1878 coin and began comparing the reverse arrow feathers.&nbsp; Holly-cow, the 1878 that I grabbed at random had a long nock on the center arrow.&nbsp; Holly-cannoli, the obverse was all over-polished so that the nostril was completely missing.&nbsp; There are die cracks all around the reverse and some on the obverse.&nbsp; In the proper light, you can see a clashed E under the eagle’s feathers.&nbsp; About 40 seconds later I was on VAMWORLD.COM to see what I had just discovered in my own collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I’m sure that you VAM guys know how exciting this got for me as I plugged away at the VAMWORLD photos.&nbsp; Here is the coin (cherrypicked from my own collection). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
