I picked up a few Morgans recently including this one. As I'm still new, thought I would ask the experts here if I am correct in thinking this is a S/S error. I have included photos to show the overall state of wear of this coin. Also if anyone would be willing to give me an idea of what this coin would grade I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Blair

There might be some VAM pros here that might know which one it is and its value.

Thanks for moving this mods. I went through the VAM listings seeing this as a broken left star and r in trust unbroken. All the dies that are listed as S/S are not a match. I'm hoping one of the more seasoned VAMmers will be able to match this one up. Meantime, I'll keep looking.

This looks like a 78S VAM-8 die 1.
It also looks like there are a lot of fine line up on the obverse, particularly the face, which may be from a cleaning.

Blair, you may want to start another topic thread for the 1884-O to get the proper attention.

I think your 1884-O may be a VAM 30A.http://www.vamworld.com/1884-O+VAM-30A
