More Pics From My New Toy (Dialup-Friendly)

I'm beginning to work through my current Morgan holdings with the QX-5, to see what I may have which I didn't know I had yesterday. It's as fun as metal detecting, without the dirt. :)

I'm playing with light levels, external lighting and filters, as the direct light is mounted on an angle and too bright for some details. Here's a little of what I found:

An 1878-S VAM 15:


Bulged P? Check.


Slightly-doubled LIBERTY? Check.


Doubled 7 not mentioned in the VAM description? Check.

A couple interesting things from my avatar coin, an 1879-S:


Polishing lines. I've found amazing numbers of polishing lines in my coins.


It's an S/S of some sort, but doesn't quite match any available pics.

A couple others:


Mintmark on an 1880-O. Ever seen one like this?


An interesting structure in an 1888-O.


A closer view - the line is definitely raised.


An 1889-P, just like the VAM 36 spike, but it's in the wrong 8. :)


1898-P VAM 2 right shoulder die gouges. Except, contrary to the pic at Ashmore, the left shoulder looks like this:


This almost looks like a clash.

I'd say I'm having too much darn fun with this microscope, but that ain't possible. :)
