1883 Morgan With Die Cracks

here some close-ups

As far as a grade a 63 it is. Reverse is much nicer but the obverse has a bag full of chatter. Still love the luster and the die crack patterns.

here is a picture of the ear and the date showing some doubling to the left of the first 8

thanks eric, I hadn't see that clash by the neck , I'll get a picture of it soon.

i agree with you twods I'm thinking it may just be a VAM 1 but I'm finding similar die pairing but none are exact.Attributing a coin just by die cracks really does not work but here is a list of the ones I see with a similar die crack on the obv by the date VAM-10 VAM-28 these are the only 2 I see with the exact same die crack by the date again attributing by die cracks does not always work but check out the die markers on these 2 vams and see if you come up with anything

I stopped and studied VAM 28 each time through the listings and discounted it because of the clash orientation at the neck.

Some time earlier I learned that some times VAM's can be attributed by die poop and scratch lines, but from the beginning, it is the MAJOR principles of detail that lead us to the vams ID or a non attributed designation.Details,
I think Messy desk was close except Van 28 die crack is about center of the bar and your pic shows its above that, so in that fact it can't be a later die state either.....The main point of interest here and frustration in vaming is...........While some doubling may occur fundamentally clashings and letters are recorded.........and are of interest...I and R rareity... Leroy never gave an idenity to a VAM by its crack alone...So fundamentals are pre eminant here date placement ect...1883 is so far much better to explore than 1878 LOL
YET think it was VAM 85......a die crack variety that was a fortune....good luck, some times it takes a while to figure it out even if its a common VAM......vut the chase is worth it..Gene
