SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/29/2007 7:04 pm I spoke about this one a couple of months ago, but lacked a decent camera. I still need to work on the white balance. Care to assign grade and attribute VAM? Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/29/2007 7:07 pm yep, gimme a minute, I think its a VAM-82 but not 100% sure Edit: it has got to be a VAM-82 since it has the full nostril, it is the only B1 Reverse that has this feature.If you look you should see a die scratch going from the top leaf of the wreath to the eagles right wing like this one Here is a better picture of the scratch from the book Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/29/2007 9:13 pm Yes that was my pick too. How about grade? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/29/2007 9:17 pm I don't know for sure but since you are putting me on the ropes like you are I guess I would say AU-55 because it looks like wear above the ear and on the breast feathers Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/30/2007 3:35 pm I'm with Bryan on the grade; you'd expect nice strikes for this issue, so weakness above the ear is likely wear. The eagle's legs tell the same story. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 12/01/2007 01:02 am I can't add much to the grading discussion other than to say that quite a few of my Morgans have surfaces like this one with nice toning and some have either been cleaned after or before the toning or both. Maybe that has gone on here at some point(s) in the coin's history as well. Report this Post to the Staff
