*** Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. ***

This particular VAM variety eludes me. I have the original book and the additions, but nothing seems to fit. The coin is the 1878 7 over 8 tail feathers, strong. The date is doubled, the headband (liberty) is doubled, and all stars are doubled. The cotton blossoms are also doubled. Please see what you make of this coin. Your help is appreciated.

yep, there it is.

yontan, when I clicked into this and saw the pictures I was 99% convinced you have the same morgan as I have. the eyelid, the nostril, shifted LIBERTY and the 7 over 5 tail feathers pretty much had me convinced, but I went back to my post to make sure.

this VAM is a really neat VAM to have. please elaborate on how you acquired yours. I love a good story. congrats on this pick-up!
