RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 4:40 pm I'm going to burn some time and try to get the hang of figuring out what VAMS I have. I am/was thinking this one is a 1878S short nock VAM 1-C. It matches everything just fine. Obverse and Reverse. But I have questions. I'll ask just a couple. (for now). If my coin has more issues to point out other than the 1-C has. Is it still classified as 1-C or what? Inside and to the right of the curl it's different looking and with die scratches. Under the eagles neck there's a gouge. There's numerous die scratches around the tip of wing plus this has something at the end of the feather. Arrow tip looks like maybe split or? Am I reading more in to it and should just leave it as 1-C. Report this Post to the Staff

johnhenry9009 Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 5:22 pm Have you checked the markers for VAM-23? as they appears to have the same gouge on the eagles neck. But your Morgan does not appear to have the rusted Die Marker? http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1879-S_VAM-23 and If it does not have the rusted dots on the eagle then I'd say you should call it a 1c. Quote: Am I reading more in to it and should just leave it as 1-C. You are reading the Markers about as much as you can. if you look for any smaller markers you'll end up on a wild goose chase.

I would say leave it as the VAM-1C as the other markers don't appear to be noticeable for them to be listed. But it does appear to be a slightly later stage from the photo, just not a enough of a difference for a listing. Hopefully this was helpful Report this Post to the Staff
