<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8357316, member: 24314&quot;]Thank you! I looked in the archives and my post history and couldn&#039;t find it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Summary: </p><p><br /></p><p>1. 1882-O Morgan dollars exist with an &quot;O&quot; mintmark punched over at least three dies having an &quot;S&quot; mintmark (VAM-3,4,5).&nbsp; So O/S coins exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. At least two long-time professional numismatists (Lange &amp; Fazzari) disagree with other Professional numismatists and Morgan dollar experts concerning the die state attribution (EDS &amp; LDS).&nbsp; Lange and Fazzari believe the historical, status quo attributions are incorrect. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that if it can be proven that the EDS and LDS attributions assigned <b>to any one</b> of the O/S VAMS is incorrect, that should add substance to one side of the die state disagreement.&nbsp; The image below is found on VAM WORLD.&nbsp; It shows the EDS and LDS of an 1882-O/S VAM-4 dollar.&nbsp; Without a EDS VAM-4 in hand, IMO <span style="color: #b30000">these two images are from two different dies. One a VAM-4 and the other a VAM that needs to be given a different #.&nbsp; This is based on the position of the &quot;O&quot; mint mark. Therefore, one cannot be an EDS or LDS of the other.&nbsp; </span><span style="color: #000000">What do you think?&nbsp; I can only think of one argument. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1483259[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>PS I wonder how long it will take for one of the <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":blackeye:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":chicken:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie34" alt=":clown:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> to post some useless <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
