This is a pretty doubled looking Morgan, and I haven't been able to identify the VAM. I hope some of you smart guys might help me out.

Please crop photos properly before posting...thanks. I am guessing you already checked the VAM site?

I did check the VAM site, although I wonder if I just "missed it" and it's clearly there someway. I had an interesting experience with these pics last night. I went to the free optimizer and cropped these photos, and the file size was bigger than the original! I know that's hard to believe, but it's true, I did it twice. If memory serves it was the obverse that got to 343k. Anyway, I went ahead and posted these pics.

It looks like it might just have some MD

Looks like far date, round O. Need better images to go further. http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...9-O_Obverses

Thank you very much, wading through far date round O vams. This should focus me well enough to identify the VAM and I really appreciate it.

As already stated by CoinHunter4, there appears to be MD on the coin but I did go through the listings and VAM-11 is the closest date and mm location to yours, maybe take a look at VAM-14 too. Your date would appear to be almost a close date but considered normal. Here are some marked up pics to show yours against the VAM listing. This was the best I could do with the pics given to work with.

Color doesn't look quite right and the striations in the obverse field are odd. Don't want to cry counterfeit yet but I'd check weight and test with a magnet before digging into VAM options.

Thank you very much. I'm on the road now, but will do that when I return home.
