It has the near date, it has the O tilted to the right, it has the designers M in her hair. I think that it has the doubling on her ear. I might have missed some. What are you guys thoughts on this coin. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/13/2017 7:44 pm It's not a micro o it's a medium O so that puts it somewhere around VAM-10 or VAM-27. Report this Post to the Staff
Stratman New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/13/2017 7:46 pm I disagree, the micro points toward the right, and the other is oval. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/13/2017 8:19 pm Well then, let's back up to the first step of VAMming, the date position. VAM-6 is classified as a near date, two full denticles from the bust point to the bottom of the 1 . Your Morgan is approximately 2-1/2 denticles aka normal position. This eliminates VAM-6 as a possible match. Maybe I'm not reading your reverse photo correctly but it sure looks like an oval medium O. Report this Post to the Staff
Stratman New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 10/13/2017 9:34 pm Dave, After looking at the number of denticles, you're right. The O is still slanted to the right,and the M is there, tho. Hmm. Edited by Stratman 10/13/2017 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 10:11 am Check out pics of the micro o's. The center holes look like they were put into the punch with a hair pin. The O is very tiny. They were ment for Barber quarters but were accentally used on a few 1899 Morgan dies. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade and SsuperDdave are very knowledgeable when it comes to Morgan dollar VAMs and there are a few others who post occasionally as well and we all love to see other members coins.
