MS64 possibly (probably) MS65 depending on critical they were on the Reed Marks on the cheek. Really nice example of the big S reverse.

Yeah, MS65.

I do not have much personal experience with a Morgan of this near perfection, but Ill make a fool of myself and guess 68. Only way I can learn is by being wrong.

The small digs on the cheek will keep it from the very high grades, but otherwise the coin is practically spotless, MS66.

Love the die polishing lines. MS-65 either SPL or full PL, hard to tell from the scan. The upper loop of S makes it look like a VAM-3, obv. looks like a III-2 which should be correct for a VAM-3, but need a true VAM wizard to chime in on that.

I believe you have the correct reverse die paralyse, but it may be the obverse die of VAM-6 with the doubled zero in the date.

Yeah, I was looking at that but I couldn't see the 0 well enough to see if it's got the top doubling. That's the trouble with trying to VAM coins you can't look at under a stereoscope or 30x.

Agreed, especially dates like this one. There could be minor doubling on other digits which could make it maybe a VAM57.
