I'm new to Morgan's and noticed several errors and need help to try and narrow the VAM down,

OBV= Doubling LIBERTY. Partial 4th star. Tripled EYELID?
REV= Doubled "D" in dollar. Tailfeather markings. Die marks in leaves above 'ONE". Die dot next to Eagle's right ankle.

I'm on my phone and can't see the details in your photos well enough to pin down at present. It's a good looking example.

Thanks! I'll investigate further. I want to narrow it down to see if it's worth grading.

I think it might be a Vam-73?!
I just noticed the spike?

LMK. Thanks!

Here is a comparison.

Does anyone know if NGC or PCGS attributes VAM 73?

I'd also call it a V73

I don't see VAM-73 on PCGS / NGC attribution lists. Here are links to each:

Thank You Bump111!!
I don't see it either. I wonder if the VAM adds value. It's a nice coin!
