I purchased this 1878 because it was the first year of the Morgans and the 8-feather variety was the first of the first.
It is fascinating learning the history and modifications that took place that first year.
Because of these changes there are many varieties.
I don't know if all 8 feathered coins are listed as VAM varieties.
If my coin is a VAM, I would appreciate any help to identify it.
The design of the extra feathers under the wing and the doubling of the "IN" in the phrase
" In God We Trust" might be two notable clues.
Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
