Hi Zachary,

Looks like a solid, no-problem MS-62 or -63 to me. The grade is limited by the moderate chatter on Liberty's cheek and scattered marks in the fields.

I don't know anything about the VAMs for this year, but I see the prominent clash marks at the front of Liberty's neck and by the eagle's left wing. I presume those are characteristic of one or more VAM types.

Decent coin!

It looks like you got clash marks on the wreath next to the right wing too.

It's clashed, but clasing is common with Morgans. The prominent clash-related VAM's almost always involve letter transfer, usually the "n" or "In" in front of the neck, and a "t" or "st" in the vee of the hair above and left of the second right star.

MS63, I think.
