jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 9:59 pm Just starting to examine some of my dollars. Think I may have a 1889 Morgan VAM 26? The left leg shows doubling, the arrow shafts show doubling and the die scratch is visable through my scope (not so much in the pic). I am not sure about the doubling on the right leg. Am I correct? Thasnks! Last question (could not find a comparison pic on VAM World), is this a high 9? Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 10:19 pm It's not a VAM 26, that is a normal date position VAM. Yours appears to be a very far date position. Try VAM 8 and go from there. http://www.vamworld.com/1889-P+Obverse edit to add - 1889 has a lot of doubling on the ear so yours could be in that category, such as VAM-32.

If this is so, then it should be easy to figure out which VAM it is because there are only 14 listed and it is a Far date coin for sure which will help narrow it down to the 5 Far Date VAMs that are listed. http://www.vamworld.com/1889+S+Obverses 1889-S are rare to find and it looks like you found a nice AU/BU coin. I would get this one graded if you have the money to send it in. Anacs would be a good choice for this one. Report this Post to the Staff
jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 08/09/2014 10:47 pm I think dave700x is right, VAM 8. The pic does look like it has a S mm, but it doesn't. Thanks! I spent about two hours tonight checking other Morgans, got through 4, I thought this was going to be easy. Report this Post to the Staff
