1884 Morgan dollar from the Philadelphia mint, it is one of the highest circulations in the series (14,070,000), coins up to MS66 levels are considered common according to PCGS.
This coin has a curiosity for which I consider it within the VAM1B "spiked leg" variant. Although in my coin, the error, unlike the vamworld photo, appears only on the right side of the leg giving the eagle the appearance of having a larger spur.

Yours is a "far date" and the 1B is not. Check out VAM-24.

Oh thanks”! It's really the same gouge in the leg, but I don't see the far date of VAM-24

Yours has a far date, at least 3 denticals away from the tip of the neck. Here is a link to read over that will make your attributing much quicker and easier. If you can eliminate a large number of VAMs before you even get started, that helps a whole lot.

This is your coin marked up showing date placement. If you scroll down in the link I gave you above, it will show you near, normal and far date placements.
