From what you see (sorry the pic isn't better), is this an 1880 date error coin?   |

no mint mark means Philadelphia. Can't seem to match it with known varieties. Maybe another close-up or two from different angles?

Sorry, I'm a newbie. I'm not sure how to know what mint it came from without a mint mark, which this coin doesn't have. Any assistance to help identify if this is a date error coin would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise |

No apologies are necessary, we were all newbies once! The mint mark is on the reverse. Always post photos of both sides of the coin for evaluation.  |

Thanks, Still not seeing anything unusual. Maybe someone with sharper eyes can chime in?  |

More focused pics would help, but it looks like the second 8 might be repunched over a 7 (8/7 spikes, or VAM-6). Not really an error, but could be considered an overdate variety. A straight on closeup of the date with better lighting would be helpful.

Close-up pic of the date, shown right-side-up, would help.

the second 8 appears to have something sticking out of the top left portion of it..

I agree with Zurie and dave on it being most likely a vam-6. I just checked out vamworld.com and to me it is a good possibility. Then if it is a vam-6, it would be one of the top 100 Morgan vams, and would probably sell a little bit better on the market. I would eyeball the condition grade of this to be about an XF-40 or so.
