You do have a die crack there. These are very commons in Morgan dollars and can be used to determine what VAM a Morgan is.

You can find more info here

to CCF. Many Morgan dollar dies cracked during use. Sometimes they can be used to help identify the die pairing ( VAM) sometimes not.

Some die cracks can be used to determine VAMs. Not all. If you want assistance, Post pic of whole coin both sides as well as close-ups of date and MM if you can.

Start new thread in VAM forum with theses pics. There are quite a few people here willing to help. I am no pro but can probably help ya narrow it down a bit.

Rest in Peace

This is the reason for my response above "sometimes not". Die cracks are simply a die stage in most cases and the plate coin for any given VAM may or may not exhibit the particular die stage you're looking at. As MontCollector posted, Load a full size image of the obverse and reverse of your Morgan preferably in a new post in the VAM section to get the proper attention. VAMming 1900-O and most other dates begins with the date and mint mark positions. Welcome to the madness!
