We need more photos of the rest of the obverse and reverse. I can't seem match up the tail feathers with the guide for some reason. The A1d is the close but not an exact match.

I believe you have a VAM 1. It is hard to tell without some other closeups but I think I see some of the die cracks on the obverse that match up and the wing feathers are really close. |

It also looks like the EDS example without lots of the cracks and die scratch.

Thanks for help.
When I will have the coin in my hand I will try to get more closeup pics, after a good acetone bath. I will focus my search on VAM-1.
I know that cleaning coins is not correct but do you think that for this coin is necessary other cleaning methods?

Please do not clean the coin. It looks all original to me and you will take away for any numismatic value it has if you clean it. I like the look of the toning. And it is a nice XF condition coin. I can't wait to here what VAM it is, cause I am still not 100% sure about it being the VAM 1, but nothing else seems to match. 1878 Morgans are the coolest! |

Ok I will not clean the coin, only a acetone bath(is this ok?). When I will have the coin i'll take more pics so we can try to ensure if it is a VAM-1 Thanks |

Acetone is fine and recommended on anything that might have PVC residue.
