I was looking through a bunch of Morgans and came across an 1889-O that had a problem with the date. The bottom of the first 8 has some dye marks on the right side and the second 8, the whole left side appears to be covered with a dye mark. The coin isn't in the best shape, but I do not believe it is damage from circulation, but appears to be from the mint. I could not find a similar VAM listing, can anyone help. The pics is the best I can come up with, I only have a phone camera, sorry. Tks in advance.

Well, at least you've got it posted in the correct forum now. It's impossible for me to " VAM" without the pictures I mentioned. I can ask you to verify something: Are the die marks you mention raised or incuse (cut into) the metal on 8's? Marks made to the coin dies show as raised metal on the minted coin. If the marks are incuse, then 99 out of 100 times you're looking a PMD (post mint damage).

I Have a 1892 Morgan Stanley-O mint mark in pretty good shape. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out on the coin value. Thanks! file://localhost/Users/williambendler/Pictures/Photo%20Booth/Photo%20on%202012-12-01%20at%2018.18.jpg
