lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 04/25/2013 10:24 am Could you please help me to identify the grade of this 1893-P Morgan dollar? Could this be a vam-4? My opinion is that it isn't...but I'm not so expert. Do you think this coin was improperly cleaned on the obverse? Thank you Vincenzo Caruso Report this Post to the Staff

I've been trying for half an hour to get the pics to load, and I don't have the bandwidth. Hopefully someone else can see them and offer assistance. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/25/2013 2:01 pm It looks like an AU details coin to me. The obverse and reverse both appear to have been polished. As for VAM-4, I don't see any doubling on the obverse stars. Better photos are needed for this. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 12:50 am I too cannot see any doubling on the stars on obverse. Could be the lighting, the reverse loos correct for VAM4 can't nail the obverse and that's the money side. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I just didn't understand what westcoin wrote about the reverse but just because my english is not so good and google translate didn't help me.... Thanks Edited by lux73 04/26/2013 5:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

What westcoin said was: "..the reverse looks correct for VAM-4, however I am not sure about the obverse and that side is needed for positive attribution. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
