Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 10:40 pm Hello, I have a 1887 O Morgan silver dollar with an extra 7 after the date. I am assuming this is a mint error. Any thoughts about the coin would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 04/14/2012 1:27 pm Thanks for the information Dave. Based on your opinion, and assuming this was not PMD would the "ghost" number add any value to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/14/2012 3:00 pm No added value to my knowledge. You may want to check out VAMworld.com to see if you can match yours to a known die pair. There are several 1887-O die varieties that are on top 100 list. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 04/14/2012 6:15 pm Thanks Dave, I did what you suggested. But upon further inspection of the coin in the photo, I discovered what appears to be a second 7 underneath the main seven in addition to the "ghost" 7. It also appears that there is a double 1 to the left side of the date. As far as I can tell, this appears to be a 1887-O VAM-2 Doubled 1, Tripled 7. Report this Post to the Staff
