    Here is another neat $ I found while searching my coins. The letters in PLURIBUS UNUM seem to be doubled. What do you think.
    Thanks again,

    Some of the key features to narrow it down...
    The point on the 4th right star is NOT broken. Many of the 1878-S Morgans have the broken point.
    The arm of R in TRUST is broken.
    There is an engraved feather under the wing.
    The double motto on obverse.

    Looks like a VAM 6. The photo of the engraved feather and the doubled R match the book. However, there are tons of 1878-S VAMs. I have the most trouble with the 1878-P and S mints. There are tooooooo many VAMs.

    I also noticed it has a double LIBERTY as well. The more I look the more I get confused on this one. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    Are the 4th, 5th, and 6th right stars doubled?
    How about the 6th and 7th left stars?

    No there does not appear to be any doubling on any of the stars. But LIBERTY and E PLUIBUS UNUM are all doubled but the PLU is minimal.
