I Have this 1878-S Morgan dollar and I am looking for VAM help.
There is doubling on Liberty
The R in trust is broken
I cant tell on the mid tail feathers
Eyelid might be of note - not sure what Tripling acutally looks like
Any points in the right direction or where else to compare to photos, would be much helpful!
I have variety books for quarters but not Morgans
If you need more pictures of a certain spot just let me know. Don't mind the tape lines from the old slab it is in.
Thanks in Advance!

Try this attribution guide for the '78-s B2 reverses. I'll try to help pin it down, too, but not a lot of time to focus at present.

Actually, it was pretty quick. There are only two listed VAMs with unbroken 4th star and broken R. One of those mentions tripled eyelid - VAM-5.

Thank you BUmp11, I believe you are right with VAM 5, my brain is a little quieter now. I appreciate it!
