skyking2130 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 02:19 am I have the Morgan and I think someone altered the mintmark. Could it be a mint error? Would appreciate input. I am new and this is my first post. Report this Post to the Staff

skyking2130 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 02:49 am I forgot to say this is on a 1884 Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff

Bruno59 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 09:43 am I checked the known VAMS and don't see any mention of this, so if it is a mint error, it could be a newly discovered VAM. Perhaps though if it is a die chip or Cud plug, it may be so random that it wouldn't reproduce another one, therefore it would likely not be considered a VAM but rather just a random occurrence. Not sure if it's value is greater due to this condition, but it's very interesting nonetheless so congrats on discovering it! Report this Post to the Staff
skyking2130 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 1:09 pm I found another similar Morgan on this site, same year and mintmark. https://goccf.com/t/117094 Coincidence? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyCC Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 07:14 am I don't know anything about it...but I think it's neat that another coin has the same error, hmm...I wonder how much it's worth if a genuine error. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 4:01 pm It's a filled mint mark, not particularly uncommon with New Orleans Morgans (or San Francisco issues, for that matter). Report this Post to the Staff
