mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 08/15/2015 9:50 pm I'm very new to Vams, and am having trouble seeing what one this is. its a 1902 O morgan. 2 olive reverse. pictures 4 and 5 show die cracks. I don't see any doubling on the profile or ear, but I'm only using a 10x hastings loupe. I may see doubling on the motto, but not sure. id greatly appreciate if you can help me ID this Report this Post to the Staff

VAMsforMoney Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 9:43 pm I guess I am in the best position to help on this one. I know what VAM it is, but was trying to steer you in the right direction with the doubled ear suggestion. If you go through the VamWorld listings looking for doubled ear and two olive reverses, you should be able to ID your coin fairly quickly. I will warn you, there are two doubled ear and two olive reverses listed that have an evil mimic die crack from the "D" in UNITED through eagle's right wing over to the "I" of IN. Make sure you completely discern the crack on your coin to the photos on VW. While VW does not have a lot of photos of your coin, you should be able to pick it out of the crowd. Happy Hunting!

mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:23 pm I am not home at the moment and won't be home for a few days... all I can do is search on my phone so I'm not totally sure, but is it 43-1? Although I think that's the evil twin. I'll keep looking Report this Post to the Staff
mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:34 pm No... VAM 42 is the evil twin? Still looking Report this Post to the Staff
VAMsforMoney Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:54 pm VAM-42 is the evil twin. Report this Post to the Staff
mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 11:05 pm Alright, I give up. I've looked through all the doubled ear losing about 5 times... I'm obviously missing something Report this Post to the Staff
mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 11:05 pm Doubled ear listings* Report this Post to the Staff
VAMsforMoney Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 11:15 pm When you get home, look at the doubled ear and the listings again. If you started at VAM-1 and went up from there, your coin is listed before the VAM-42. Report this Post to the Staff
