chris,

Actually if you follow the "78 process" you can narrow it to 23 real quick. Two things to do first off ... 1. Count the tail feathers (yours has 7) 2. Long nock or short nock (yours is long) 3. 7/8 tail feathers or just 7 (yours is 7/8) and that leaves you 23 choices. Count the number of tail feathers you can see under the top feathers. You should see 5. Now go to VamWorld and check the listings for 7/8 tail feather coins with 7/5 showing ... now you're down to 3. I could give it away, but I want you to figure this one out from here.

The coin appears XF/AU. Good luck.

Thank You Seatednut, That seemed very helpful. I've come up with VAM 38 It says that it is the largest shift of it's kind. Now as I go through these morgas I'll have to decide which ones to keep. what does anyone think keep/sell?

Congrats Chris, you got it. As far as keep/sell, I keep one of each until I can upgrade.
