Ironbrgde New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 6:40 pm My first GSA CC Morgan came in the mail today. 1883 NGC graded MS 64. I got poor results with a camera but surprised how well my flat scanner worked. I'm totally new to VAM but it looks like a VAM3 to me. The dash under the second 8 was a dead give away. If anyone thinks otherwise or has anything additional to add by all means let me know. I'm working on a mintmark and decade set with another coin on the way. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 7:19 pm Nice GSA Morgan! It appears to be a VAM-3 to me, also. Any signs of letter transfer? Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 7:24 pm Very nice. I have one but it is not NGC graded. I almost busted mine out of the GSA holder. Good thing I didn't. Stick around. We hope to see more of your finds. Edited by mds308 03/25/2013 7:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ironbrgde New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 11:04 pm Dave700x, I'm gonna have to research what letter transfer is. Would that potentially make it a different VAM? Thanks for the compliments everyone. I appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff
Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 03:22 am I love these as well. Nice coin and welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 07:07 am IRONBRGDE here are a couple of reads on letter transfer,http://www.coincommunity.com/us_mor...is-a-vam.asp and http://www.vamworld.com/Attribution+101. Letter transfer if present on your Morgan could make it a VAM3A. Edited by dave700x 03/26/2013 07:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 08:35 am Out of curiosity, IRONBRGDE, what DPI did you use for the scan? I have no camera, only a scanner, and I have been using 600 DPI. Then I crop the picture, resizing it if needed using this site's resource. Sample of my scan: https://goccf.com/t/137735 Edited by matthewvincent 03/26/2013 08:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
