[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 3107414, member: 73995"]Lets just start out by saying that I am not an expert in VAM's This date has more than a hundred. (might be an exaggeration, but there is a lot) searching through VAM world I could not find anything with a die break at the lips, this could be part of the original design. As far as seeing numbers on the lips and a p or D next to the ear? This is from the damage that the coin has. Your coin is not double struck or even struck over a peace dollar. There is zero evidence in your photos. A clash is going to show in the field. (flat areas of the coin) and not on the devices, the devices are recessed into the die face, and are not affected, in a clash. Collecting and looking for errors is a lot of fun, and if you don't know how the minting process works it is very easy to think you see something that isn't there. (called pareidolia) I am not trying to burst your bubble, But the coin has heavy damage from circulation, and also has been harshly cleaned. It is worth face value, and definitely not worth the time and effort to have it graded. Save your money for a coin that is in Mint state or a true error, variety, or VAM. PS I know I missed the VAM, (each Morgan has a VAM attribution) But, it don't think it is worth the effort.[/QUOTE]
