I am not a Morgan person. I am an error person and got this coin and am happy with the misaligned die on it.

Out of curiosity, I searched for Morgan and misaligned die on ebay, and found this coin. This is the seller's picture.

1900-O-Misaligned-Die-With-A-VAM-54?

I was struck by the similarity of the misalignment - off in the same direction and roughly the same amount. So, my question is, is mine the VAM 54 like in the ebay auction?

thanks for your thoughts!

It sure looks like the same misaligned die! Great coin, here's hoping someone else can confirm it.

VAM-54 has nothing to do with a misaligned die; the fact that a die happens to be misaligned has nothing to do with the die states which are the defining features of Morgans. With that said, if there's one VAM-54 that happens to have been struck misaligned, it'd be reasonable to expect more of them unless they got the die corrected immediately.

VAM-54 is defined by the very near date location (your coin has this) and doubling below the upper crossbar of the 1. I can't quite see that doubling in your image, but that might be because of crud in the area. Check that closely, and if you see it then the coin might well be VAM-54. There are other Very Near Date 1900-O's, though.

I would agree with Dave on this one. The date placement is "Spot On", I would look for the other die markers as well also. That being said...the die is the die and the chance of only 1 coin struck with a misaligned die in the very same position is far less likely!
