Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 1:35 pm Pulled this piece out of a cardboard-backed coin frame earlier this year. All of the coins had this gnarly toning on the reverse (a little too gnarly for my taste), and definitely making it hard to locate the VAM. Any ideas? (dave700x?) Also, Liberty's cap seems to have had something struck through during the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 2:06 pm Opinions on grade would be good too. I love the strike on this coin so I plan on getting it holdered regardless. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 4:51 pm I think it may be a VAM-35. Check for doubling on the stars. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 09:50 am VAM-35, You nailed it Dave! I was initially with GMS5 in that the mintmark seemed noticably thicker, but God has certainly blessed you with a knack for detail! Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 3:13 pm Very hard to see doubled stars on my monitor at work, LOL. but the bottom inside of the 3 looks VAM 35-ish. Report this Post to the Staff
suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 4:16 pm Nice coin! It might get bagged as AT for the rev toning. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 5:42 pm I can't see the doubled stars either. I was going off the die crack through the eagle's right wing tip. It is present on VAM-23B and VAM-35 that I know of. That and the die crack through the left wing tip match the VAM-35 LCFP. Just like finger prints, no two are exactly alike but there are a few evil mimics in the Morgan series. Edited by dave700x 10/09/2020 6:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
