SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/18/2009 12:45 pm I would call this coin AU50-53. It's of a type known as the Reverse of 1878, characterized by the flat breast and parallel tailfeathers of the eagle. Only about 2% of 1879-S Morgans used this reverse, and your coin is identified as a Top 100 Variety, a very collectible piece. 19 die-pair variant VAM's are known for this type, and the place to start attributing is the "r" in "trust." Here's a good link for the process: http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~davewang/1879sPAF/ Report this Post to the Staff
