HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 09:57 am Any thoughts on this Morgan being an O/CC. There just seems to be a lot going on around the O mint mark, I had to ask. Thanks for any help! It is in a PCGS MS62 holder. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 10:33 am I don't see any evidence of an O/CC. Perhaps a VAM-49 based on the date and MM position? Report this Post to the Staff
HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 11/25/2022 11:29 am Thanks! I will check on VAM-49. I have a Koolertron scope camera. I bought it back in Jan 2020 and have no complaints. It was around $100 with a clip coupon ( Amazon) The camera does not connect to a computer, just a mini usb card. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ie=UTF8&th=1 I added the 6 inch extended pole to it for $15 ( Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8H6Y4P...duct_details The original setup only allows for full photos of Cent size coins. With the 6 inch pole you can take photos of Morgans with room to spare. For close-ups I just use a box to set my coin on and take my coin up to the scope. Instead of taking the 6 inch pole off each time. For lighting I use a lamp that I position behind the scope. Then I use 2 fill lights on each side of the coin as you see in the photo. Those fill lights are great. They have 3 levels of brightness and 3 different hues of light, usb recharge.

silvering Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 12:13 pm Really great pics. and setup. The VAM 49 fits, but I'm curious about the curved areas and the polish marks in your mm pics. Something makes me wonder if this could possibly have been one of the reworked Carson dies. Are there other pups that might help. The top pic is one of HumblePie's and the bottom is 1900-O VAM-10 from VAMWorld. Edited by silvering 11/27/2022 12:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 12/18/2022 1:18 pm I would say not an o/cc but I can see why you think it could be. I have a similar one where if you squint your eyes and use your imagination a little you can almost see part of a "c". I have wondered if die state wear has varying degrees of the over stamp.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5602 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 08:10 am Beautiful Pictures. Sweet Set up Too This " die " looks Very Busy. IMO, the original posted pictures could be an Earlier Stage of the Other pictures provided by Silvering's VAM 10 pictures Thanks for Sharing Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 09:44 am I agree the photos are excellent. The mintmark position is set too far right to be a VAM-10. Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 09:39 am Beautiful Morgan! Does it have a die gouge/scratch on the first 9? I thought I saw it on yours but when I expand it it gets blurry. If so maybe its VAM 33? http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...900-O_VAM-33 Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 09:58 am Good eye, I think that's it! Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8726 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 11:45 am HumblePie, I know you have posted a couple of these, with similar locations. Just a thought, could it be a very light clash? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 8:12 pm Thanks everyone for the feedback and thumbs up on the photos! Sorry for the late reply, I kind of lost track of this post. Quote: Beautiful Morgan! Does it have a die gouge/scratch on the first 9? I thought I saw it on yours but when I expand it it gets blurry.

Just a thought, could it be a very light clash? I have no clue what it could be, I was just intrigued by the possibility of an O/CC. Whatever it may be, it does look strange. Someone mentioned "reworked dies" and that is what I kind of lean towards at this point. Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 8:44 pm Good deal! And it sure looks like something else is going on around MM to me as well. Report this Post to the Staff
