VAM this one if you'd like, it's already been attributed.

 with AU58 on technicals but I would add 5 points for eye appeal. That's a beauty in my book. For those vamming check the arrow feathers to narrow it down. nlp |

Nice toned Morgan. I'll jump on the AU58 wagon and add it's a long nock. Look at the nostril is the next clue.  |

Agree with AU-58 rub is evident on the high points

I will not attribute this one because it way to easy and figure it will be one for the new VAMmers but as far as grade goes its a little hard because of the toning but you don't usually see that much die wear on this variety (its usually pretty sharply struck)so I am going to guess it was lightly circulated

I will go with AU-58 but the toning makes this one tricky to grade. I would not be surprised if it was called MS. Nice coin!

Come on New VAMmers you are killing me, not even one guess? You are literally driving a steak right in my heart here. I will give you a hint or two, Look at the Motto, it is a TOP-100 VAM! and a B1 Reverse so its a....... |

RIB appears to be doubled: VAM-70?

maybe my clues gave it away..lol I was dying in my chair just wishing someone would give this VAM a shot. D0ubleEagle, Thanks for answering as most know B1 Reverse Morgans are close to my heart and this was killing me that no one was even trying to figure it out since it had the Long nock and only had 7 TF's (which clearly made it a B1 Reverse) and since there is only like 10 coins to choose from it would have been pretty simple for the new VAMMer to figure out. The double RIB is very apparent on the VAM-70 and can be seen at arms length without magnification (well with good eye sight anyhow), it is also the ONLY Top-100 VAM in the B1 Reverse series so I could have just said its a B1 reverse and is a Top-100 VAM and someone could have found out what VAM it was without much investigation |

Here it is guys, this one is pretty interesting. I believe this one was one of the last coming off this particular die pairing. The coin in hand actually shows no wear on the high points.....interesting Die Deterioration Oh yeah I wasn't the one that got it off heritage.....grabbed it cheaper than the heritage auction  |

Just goes to show how tough it is to grade a heavily toned coin from a photo.
Nice pick!

yeah I would have never guessed this one was a MS coin as most VAM-70's I have seen looks like it has more hair detail than this one and that is why I thought it may have been lightly circulated (was thinking AU-58 as the grade). The toning may be what is throwing the look off to me. I have a MS-65 and I actually went to my pictures I had taken to look closer at them to make sure on the hair detail before I said any grade opinion
