Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 03/23/2026 1:34 pm Awesome! I love the die gouged Morgans. This one reminds me of the 1880-O VAM-48 / Hangnail. Add to it that this is a high-dollar example regardless of the variety. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/01/2026 7:58 pm Looks like the reverse die took a couple serious hits. With such obvious marks on the eagle I'd expect a VAM number would have been assigned. Anyone know whether that's the case? I didn't see a match on VAMWorld. Report this Post to the Staff
