SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 5:23 pm Has to be - 8TF Morgans are all First Reverse. Literally, since they were the first Morgans minted. But, yes, that's the First reverse. The fact that all of the arrow fletches are parallel is the key, in this image. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 5:27 pm Oh, wait. You mean is it VAM-9? See what I get for typing before I interpret what I was reading? Tough to say from the quality of the pics, but it sure looks like it. Report this Post to the Staff
InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 8:05 pm I am not sure, but I don't think it is a VAM 9. I spotted a coin just like that when I first began looking for VAM's several months ago. If I am seeing things right, the "comma " feather should be 1 of 2 small feathers in that area. On mine, and yours, there appears to be three feathers there (on the right side). There should be 3 small feathers on the left side - there appears to be 2 on yours (like mine). I was kinda dissapointed when got it home and looked, loved the coin, but not the "first" Morgan :( Still looking ! Check VAMworld for the small die scratches diagnostic to be sure.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 5:08 pm Here's an attributed (ANACS) VAM-9 for reference: The eagle's right is doubtful, but the left (the important side) looks pretty close. Report this Post to the Staff
