Greetings. Have been away for a while. This 79 Morgan has what I think are die chips near the west hair on the very bottom. First do you agree and second do we register these coins anywhere. I am not sure about Variety Vista or Wexlers. Thanks and Have a great Memorial Day weekend. Rich     *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Would it be reportable then?

Yes die chips. But only really "reportable"(?) to be used as a VAM identifier. A chip by itself doesn't increase value, does it? |

What you are seeing is the remnants of the hair after the obverse die has been over-polished probably because of a clash event or two. Edit to add - VAM-64 looks like at least an evil mimic of the die polish on your example. http://www.vamworld.com/1879-P%20VAM-64Edited by dave700x

ok Thanks much. Dave after I look at it again since seeing your link, it has the same characteristics as the VAM 64. |

Yeah, I'm thinking it's a match based on the polished obverse die and more importantly the doubling above bottom crossbar of the 1. Welcome to VAMming...  |

I don't see anything about the VAM 64 on the VAM site? |

What exactly are you looking for beyond the information contained in the listing? (attached hyperlink above)

Dave I was looking to see how many of the VAM 64 there were or any value quides. I am not selling but it is of interest. Thanks. BTW it is a bit awkard to post pics on the VAM site since you have to use HTML so I am hesitant to do that initially. |

I'm not 100% positive but my guess is that VAM64 is not a value added VAM. There are 3 examples listed in the SSDC registry with all 3 graded by ANACS and none higher than AU55. By post picture on VAMworld I'm assuming you were thinking about joining and posting on the message board? Just a word of advice, any questions regarding value should be posted in the BST board. Hope this helps..  |
