picked this one up today a local pawn shop for $275, which I think was a good buy speaking its most likely a DMPL. Shows doubling on Pluribus and has eye spikes. doesn't quite match up with VAM-70 or VAM-14.11. I'm sending it into PCGS today but figured i'd let you good folks have some fun with it.

Refer to my post in your grading topic.

Attributing '78-P Morgans begins with the tail feathers. Yours has a long nock arrow with 7 tail feathers but also has the remnants of the 8 tail feathers hub. She's a 7/8 tail feathers variety more specifically 7 over 5 visible.

it's VAM 38, just waiting for grades on mine at NGC after crossover and conservation from PCGS where it was labeled 1878 7/8TF STRONG (7/5)
Also hoping for the DMPL designation as well.
