Here are updated pics. I do not see any incused N on this coin. I believe this is a 1892P VAM3 or a possible new VAM with the doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST, especially the doubling on the IN is very pronounced. I'm going to send pics of this to Mr Lee for his expertise regarding the doubling of "IN GOD WE TRUST" on this coin.        |

I do believe that prominent doubling across the entire motto is typical for vam-3.

It looks like a VAM 3 to me. |

Ozland/zeewool: You are both correct. It is VAM3. The people over at VAM World also confirmed that the doubling is also prominent on the "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the VAM 3. Thanks to all for your inputs! Edited by chuckster 125

Thanks Chuck, I do like being right once in a while, as my batting average is usually not very good.
Aladin is requesting a picture of the neck to see if you might have a vam-3'A' I presume.

Here are some pics of the neck area. Pics 3 & 4 are side angles. I don't see any incused letter, but I'm terrible at locating/finding these, even if it stood out like a sore thumb!     |

chuckster 125, The clashed 'n' from "In God ..." is in the highlighted, circled area. The square highlight is the clash from the upper edge of the eagle's right wing. The 'N' clash is faint compared to some, but it is there.   Here's a superimposed pic of the 'N' placement. It should give you some perspective on what to look for. Try holding the coin at a 45 degre angle with the light source in front of you and look at the front of the neck.  Edited by SeatedNut

Oooo, Upgrade score!! Courtesy of Aladin's foresight, and SeatedNut's sharp eye and skillful work in pointing out to both of us what we were missing. Thanks guys.

SeatedNut: Thanks! Great pics pointing out where this is! I've seen that die clash that you squared off on other Morgan's but had no idea what it was until now, the Eagles right wing! I just tilted the coin and it shows right where you circled! 1892P VAM 3A. Thanks again, to all, for attributing this Morgan correctly. |

You're very welcome. Here's the most spectacular clash in the series. The 1889 VAM 23A clearly shows the letter transfer ... and demands a huge premium. Good luck finding one though. From VAMWorld ...  |
