Anyone know of this listed anywhere? I dont see it on a VAM list. There is an imprint, west side under the top of the serif. Image:  1886morganchip1.jpg76.22 KB |

Normal VAM 5. Elaborate more on imprint. |

My coin doesn't have the loop in the 8.

Sure looks like it does. It looks exactly like the VAM 5 picture to me, with the loop in the top and bottom of the 8. |

DOH !! Okay, I see it.
Thanks
It's for sale: $10,000,000 dollars.

No, but it has the proper doubling under the top of the 1, and in the bottom loop of the 8. It's quite possible that a momentary fill blocked that one feature - it's thin enough so it wouldn't take much. Check the location of the 1 relative to the point of the neck - it should be just a little more than two full denticles away. |

$10,000 That's it? send me two of them.  I'll put it in the book right next to my 1878 VAM 44. SuperDave, I think you live on your computer. I'm gone for a couple of hours, and I find that you've beat me again.  |

Man, I missed a decimal. $10,000,000 that sounds even better.

j_h_s, I try, but it's getting hard. My wife is going to start grounding me from my computer. She's complaining that I spend more time on the forums than I do with her. Maybe if she had some nice die cracks on her face I'd be more interested. Do you think perhaps I have been looking at coins too long?  |
