Thank you so much

I just don't see the clashed "E." That's the key and the reason for this variety, and why its so desirable. Does it have the noted die cracks in the date? Those are also unique to this variety, and I don't know of any examples without them.

Thanks for forgiving my mistake, this is new to me. The clashed E is on the bow of the wreath yes? I have done some research and it looks like one of the first of the last, if that make sense..

No, the clashed E is in the field between the tailfeathers and the wreath, left of the bow. The letter on the bow is an "M," George Morgan's initial. Look at the link I posted above - that's the VAMworld detail page for this coin.

Wow, I really am bad at this...bottom line is I need to sell that Morgan and a 1923 S Peace that definitely is a VAM 1F, as you can see in the picture I will post. I would rather they go to someone who will appreciate them for their beauty and thought I could find someone here. Thank you so much for your feedback and lessons...

Um, no, tatt2ed13. You have to be aware of the absolute prohibition concerning commerce, or even offers thereof, with new members. Although she's made mention of wanting to liquidate them, she has made no hint at all that she wants to sell them here, meaning that of the two of you, apparently one read the rules.

Ohh I honestly was just curious how much she thought they maybe worth is all ..
not that I would have bought or wanted to buy these .. Just was going to try to help price them is all .. Sorry about the misunderstanding .. I'm in no position to buy anything at this point in time ..

I apologize again SuperDave --- Not my intention to purchase through here really just wanted to help price them to sell .. But I'm sure she picked up the book by now and may have a better idea what things are worth ..

No biggie, brother. My words were a little harsh intentionally, directed more at the number who are reading these things rather than you personally. We cannot afford to bend even slightly on the commerce rules around here.

This coin has a Near Date.
So it cannot be VAM-1B.
