Wheat Penny New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 8:44 pm * Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. * 1887 P Morgan dollar (die clash on reverse and die cracks going all around both the reverse and obverse) This Morgan dollar is graded by PCGS MS64 in the OGH. No clue what specific VAM # is this. Please help! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Wheat Penny New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 02:11 am Just compared my coin with VAM 13 and it does match. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
Wheat Penny New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 02:16 am What's the approx value of it? Report this Post to the Staff
Celebane New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 1:08 pm That entirely depends on the Grade. Which is impossible to tell from the single photo you provided. You can use PhotoGrade on PCGS's site to approximate a grade and then see what coins of that grade brought at auction. Report this Post to the Staff
Wheat Penny New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 4:36 pm As I stated, it's an MS64 from PCGS Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 6:01 pm If VAM-13 is correct, that wouldn't add a premium to the coin. Full photos of the coin would help if you want opinions on the value, but recent ebay sold values for an 1887-P PCGS MS-64 are in the range of $70 to 100. Report this Post to the Staff
Wheat Penny New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 6:05 pm How does a VAM not add premium to a coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 7:33 pm VAMs are basically die varieties of Morgan dollars, so nearly all Morgans can be assigned a VAM. Only the most sought after VAMs (with striking features, easily recognizable, or scarcity) carry much of a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Odee13 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 7:41 pm I would check the date and see if this is a VAM 2. Report this Post to the Staff
