1900-O Morgan Broken Nose VAM?

You'd think something that prominent would have been given a unique VAM number if it has been noted on more than one example. I don't remember seeing that anomaly before, and 1900-O is one of the Morgan series that I have spent a good bit of time looking over. If it is, indeed, a die crack, it deserves attention. As you probably know, the best way to narrow down any potential VAM is by noting the date position, MM position and by possible die scratches in the bow/neck-wing/hair/ear/etc. 1900-O has been studied pretty well and you might zero in by those methods. Given the photos provided, there isn't sufficient detail to help with that investigation. It's always better to have the coin in hand and under a microscope.

This may be something that others have seen before, but you may also have a new VAM on your hands - wouldn't that be exciting! And we can say we were here at the beginning. Best wishes!

Thanks guys. There seems to be something going on with the ear also that I have not been able to match at the VAM site. Once it arrives I will try to get better photos of different areas.
