I bought a 1880-O Morgan dollar from the coin shop about 5 years ago, after going through my coins last night I noticed the mint mark "O" was smaller then usual and looked like it was over laped, I checked the books and internet but cant seem to find out what it is, all info is greatly appreciated!

mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 11/13/2011 1:50 pm In the Morgan series there are a lot of minor 'errors' and varieties. Most can be found listed in the VAM book and are of little to no added value. Yours probably exhibits some minor Machine Doubling. I hope this helps... Report this Post to the Staff

The mint mark appearance and location is similar to that of VAM-7, a rather interesting and notable variety for this year/mint. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 12:11 am Date doubling abounds with Morgans, both die doubling and Machine Doubling. I don't recall a 97/97 off the top of my head. Report this Post to the Staff
