SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/24/2007 6:49 pm I'm having a hard time committing to AU or MS for this one. The obverse says one thing, the reverse another. Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

Bottleguy Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 08/24/2007 7:51 pm I don't see anything but a lot of bag clatter (love the nose )and I see nothing that screams out anything other than uncirculated, or any signs of circulation at all. It probably just took a long, long ride via bumpy train and stagecoach, that's all..... I'll go with MS. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 08/24/2007 8:22 pm Only thing I see that could be considered wear would be just above the ear in the hair. Is it just me? Oh, and as Bottleguy pointed out, those "breathe right" strips on her nose are priceless....guess she snores.... Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 08/24/2007 8:29 pm Man, there is nothing AU about that coin. Looks to be a lock MS-62 to me. A surefire beauty Ben Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 1:51 pm I agree and even since I am no longer needed for my 1878 expertise to help with VAM #'s (seems you are becoming a fast expert yourself) This coin screams MS to me and wouldn't be surprised to see it in a MS-63 holder at anytime in the future Report this Post to the Staff

atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 5:53 pm Slight wear around the ear on obv...some unsightly marks on nose..AU 58 at best PS always give the obverse more weight on final grading (per ANA PCGS and NGC) Nice 78 with rev of 78!

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 6:27 pm it is actually as Dave as said a 7/0 TF which is a varient of a 7/8 TF just can't see the other feathers underneath but the long arrow shaft shows that it has the 7/8 reverse and also it is already been attributed as a VAM-30 by all the other diagnostics of this specific VAM which confirms it is a 7/8 TF with NO feathers showing underneath the top 7. This is a major mistake TPG's make which makes cherrypicking 1878 Morgans fun and easy because they refer these as 1878 reverse of 1878 and in fact its can be a highly sought after 7/0 variety Edited by Bryan1315 08/26/2007 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
