MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 07/21/2008 10:46 pm Nohope, can you post a larger pic of the mintmark area. Filled MMs are common but yours appears to have a chip on it. Got any idea of the Vam#, broken forth star & broken r in trust stand out. Any doubling ? Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/21/2008 10:56 pm Hi Looks like you have a few VAM attributes on this coin. I have had a few MS 78-S's and some are common. Others ? On the obverse you have a broken B in pluribus, a die chip on the eyelid, a broken star on the left side (right side if looking at it) On the reverse a broken R in trust, a possible clash below the O in dollar (lower right between the O and the denticles), Mintmark looks over punched and or with a die chip.

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 07/24/2008 12:04 am The broken r and broken star are common attributes on 1878's so they will most likely not be helpful for identification. The mint mark looks like a die chip to me. I haven't seen one like it before, but I haven't spent much time with 78's. I looked a little on VAMworld and didn't see anything like it either, but I may have overlooked it. Let us know if you find anything. Report this Post to the Staff
