SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 2:15 pm Mint mark's in the wrong place for VAM-5 - see VAM-6 which has the same reverse and shows the MM. It's defnitely S/S Left, though. Report this Post to the Staff

clary1265 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 4:55 pm Dang! Maybe I'm looking at one too long, lol. Does the reverse have doubling or is that my eyes playing trick? Yes, this is the coin I took the glue off of. Edited by clary1265 12/23/2014 4:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/23/2014 5:10 pm I see the doubling, but that's so common on Morgans that it can go unnoticed. The fact that it isn't recorded for a given VAM doesn't mean it isn't there. The key to VAMming is date and mint mark location first - these differ between dies and will help narrow the field initially. Most issues listed at VAMworld have pages listing the various locations for that year. Report this Post to the Staff
