Odee13 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 8:53 pm Crazy to me that this isn't a top100 VAM. I feel like this one is pretty distinguished and has a few findings I didn't see on VAM world - double ear and doubling/tripling on flowers and leafs. Maybe I missed it, maybe it's not significant enough. Edited by Odee13 02/23/2026 9:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 9:01 pm Man, I need to learn more about these VAMs - but some of that doubling looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. Time to hit the books (web pages) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

CoinForMe Pillar of the Community United States 2113 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 9:29 pm If this one is around, there's got to be another one or more. . . . Lets go find another! I just checked my 7 over 8 Strong, not one of them. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 10:25 pm Very nice 7/8 tf Morgan! I vaguely remember this from my past but think it is one of the more common 7/8 tf varieties even though it has very strong doubling on both the obverse and reverse. Still worth some bucks in MS grade, which yours most definitely is. LINK https://vamworld.com/wiki/1878-P_VAM-38 -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2457 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 6:47 pm i have one of these. nice acquisition. I also wonder why this particular VAM isn't on a 'hot' or 'top' list. it's a terrific coin. also notice the doubling inside the nostril & the little tick on the eyeball just under the eyelid. LIBERTY shifted left is the strongest example of this on a morgan. fabulous coin! Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 9:39 pm There is doubling all over this coin, even if not mentioned. Very cool die. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
