Those look like die breaks. This is a somewhat common occurrence on Morgans. The VAMmers will let you know if there is a reference for this particular coin. Edit: better pictures may be needed, but I'm going to take a stab and say this is 1882O VAM 38B. Please don't take my word for it. I am a VAM amateur.

I really appriciate it a whole lot. Your obviously less of an amature than I so all I can say is thank you. Where would I look that kind of thing up anyway?

Two things. First, hit the "report" link at the bottom of your post and ask a moderator to move this thread to the VAM section. I might suggest that you try for clearer pictures of the full obverse and reverse after it is moved. Second, look up a site called "VAMworld". All of the varieties can be seen there.

Thank you. I would of put it in the rite section if I knew what it was. Appriciate the advice though. But I put it on here in the first place to figure out just that...what to call it. So VAM is what this is your saying? |

You did put it in the right place. We sort of figured that it may be a VAM after looking it over.  VAM is short for the guys who started cataloging the different Morgan and Peace varieties and die pairs, etc. There are a group of people on this site who more or less specialize in this type of collecting. I hope it is what we think. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Thank you an I didnt expect it to be anything significant or it be a certain VAM or error. Just was wanting some tips of what it would be called. I looked at the vamworld site an theres so many an not a whole lot of pictures to compare to. But thank you for all the help |

Give the VAM folks a little while to respond. But you might well be right. Glad you figured out the site over there. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

I'm no expert, but it appears to be a 38B to me as well.

The cracking on this one gets my '82s seal of approval. Can never have enough of them!
