 Not sure of the question. Is it a fake? Edited by bpoc1

I'm equally unsure what's being asked here. The pics are too small to see anything significant; I see a Normal Date, C3-Reverse 1880-CC. If I'm interpreting tiny details correctly, I believe there's Die Deterioration around "In God we trust," but this phenomenon is known for more than one 1880-CC VAM so more detail would be necessary before precise attribution can be made. |

 That was my initial though. The C3 reverse seemed to have some quality issues compared to the B2. Edited by dave700x

I'm having a hard time comprehending what you're after here. Are you referring to the feature I've circled in red?  That's an actual part of the design, and it appears more or less-strongly on individual coins and in photographs. It can be expected to be there. |

Here's a relatively-unmarred image of a Morgan obverse in fairly high resolution. The only nonstandard artifacts are a little clashing above the cap. Otherwise, it's as-struck. Compare it to your coin - which you can see more clearly than we can - to see what differences you can note.  |

The leave seems to be fully formed over the bend wheat leave under the B in PULRIBUS on my coin I do not see that on the coin you picture,maybe I have look at the coin too long and the image is in my head that is why I wanted other to look.

No real need to; I see nothing abnormal about it.In any event, it will pixelate if you "zoom" it; it shows the most detail it ever will at that size.

Keep in mind, you can expect the apparent strength of that feature (as well as the rest) to vary a lot with Morgan strikes. Lighting can also affect how things look. Yours may be a unusually-strongly struck coin - aside a little flatness at the ear, it looks like one - so you'll see a lot of variation between coins which might otherwise look like something abnormal.
