Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 02:08 am This was my first Morgan, I got it as a birthday present when I was 7 or 8. Nothing too special, except a very pronounced die crack or break in the date. I am not a VAM or Morgan specialist, so I cannot attribute it. Has anyone seen this before?

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:56 am A good close up of the MM is key for '84-O. The die crack in the date may not be a "listed" feature and then there is the possibility that the listing for this die pairing may be an earlier die state. I can see from your photos that this is a far date with an oval O mint mark set high and possibly set left, tilted left. Many of the listings do not report the mint mark location if it's an O/O.

TheGoodGuys Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 6:42 pm Try focusing your camera through a loop with good lighting towards the edge of the coin softened w/ a single ply tissue to diffuse the light. Good pics are necesary for this sort of thing imo. Go to VAMworld and look at their pictures and compare your coin Report this Post to the Staff
