The owner doesn't know what you think and doesn't know what it is...He knows only that this is an 8TF... We live in Italy and not too much people collect Morgan dollars and maybe only few people knows what a VAM morgan is.. I will keep you informed on the purchase and when I will have the coin in my hands I will post more pics Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 11:03 am Please do. If we remain in agreement on the attribution with your own images, it'll be necessary to let the larger VAMming community know a new one has been found. Not that such a thing isn't expected - everyone knows there are a huge number of unattributed Morgans left out there. Report this Post to the Staff

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 10/17/2015 1:16 pm I can finally say that this coin will be mine. I was the highest bidder at a french coin auction and I got this coin for 160 euro (total with Bp+ shipping cost 189 euro = 215 usd). I will receive the coin wednesday and will post new pics wishing it is really the 14.7. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 10/17/2015 8:56 pm Awesome! I am as excited as if the coin was mine. can't wait for the in hand coin photo's! Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 11:09 am The coin just arrived this morning and I couln't wait to take other pics. Here are some pics of obverse and reverse, the flake on the ear, the date (with a weak radial die crack), the die chip under the eye, the eds radial die crack by E PLURIBUS from the rim, the 8tf with the A1C reverse, the blob of metal at the bottom of the F and 2 pics of obverse and reverse mirror fields (maybe SPL or PL...I'm not too much into pl coins). I took the pics with daylight and with artificial led light (cheap usb microscope with led light) so everyone can make their own considerations. If anyone wants other pics or full resolution pics just ask. All comments are welcome. Edited by lux73 10/21/2015 11:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 06:06 am With these other pics what do you think about the grade of this coin and whoo to send the coin for certification (pcgs - ngc etc)? I have already wrote on vamworld message board and messydesk gived me some considerations and advice on the coin but I was waiting also for your comments and advice. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 07:42 am The answers you received from messydesk on VAMworld are very good ones. I can only say best of luck at getting this rare bird in a righteous slab. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 08:15 am If you already talked with John (messydesk) then follow his advise. We are all basically his sheep in the land of VAM Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 11:21 am From my brief experience in vamming community I realized that messydesk is absolutely one of the leading experts in the VAM community. For this reason I will absolutely follow his advice. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
