1878 8TF VAM 14.20 Morgan Dollar

Blue

Congratulations if this works out for you- appears it has. Waiting for any further- now I've got to go check mine

Here's the link to Vamworld. Those who commented think this coin is a 14.2.

Here is the pic on PCGS. I enlarged the ear area. Sure looks like a 14.2 IMO, not the rare 14.20 with the longer triangle area further in the ear. It has the same obverse die cracks like the 14.2. All examples of the 14.20 I've seen do not have these cracks. IMO whoever owns this coin and wants to sell it should inform a buyer this may be a PCGS error or send it to PCGS for a second look. I would not want to spend extra money on questionable rare variety. As a 14.2 it's still a really nice coin.

I checked the verification number on PCGS and it says it is a 14.2. So it seems the label was made incorrectly.

Some collectors have stated grading companies don't have the same quality control as they used to. Thousands of coins perhaps are briefly examined and mistakes are made.

Well that is likely PCGS fixed the online VAM number, but makes me wonder if the owner will keep the bad label.

Sorry, forgot about this thread.
Stacks Bower reviewed the coin and verified it was labeled incorrectly. The coin is sitting with PCGS for reconsideration.

Just wait for the conclusion from the CCF expert.

She is beautiful Bluemagoo, congrats.
