I could see there was a couple of errors but after photographing it and increasing the size I noticed a bunch more. There is a very minor rotation error of about 5 minutes By the left wing in between the leaves there is a raised fault (lamination error)? Its not damage and its definitely raised. There is a scratch at about 8pm that goes under the leaf and I think its a casting error What I didn't see until I had the image blown up is the double die errors most noticeable on the o of the one and the first C of Carson city mint mark. Its an uncirculated coin and I'm guessing that when I get it graded by PCGS its going to come back at somewhere between MS63 on the low end and MS66 on the high end. There is some scratching on the plastic case that's not on the coin itself. The coin has really nice eye appeal with a nice luster. My question is does these errors increase the value of the coin? Or do collectors want the "perfect Morgan"? Edited by chipshopman 01/10/2014 7:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Others are rare and interesting. You can identify your Morgan dollar by VAM here: http://www.vamworld.com/1882-CC+VAMs and then check to see if it's a valuable VAM. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 7:51 pm They are not errors. What you are pointing out are features that indicate what die variety you have. The coin is clashed whereas the dies came in contact with each other without a planchet. This event left damage on the dies which ended up on the struck coins. I suggest you check out this link, http://www.vamworld.com/1882-CC+Reverses and as always, to CCF. Edited by dave700x 01/10/2014 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
