I really hate to say this, but I highly doubt that anyone will be able to say anything intelligent about this coin from the pictures supplied. I can't tell if it is an 8TF or if I see a mint mark. If you could zoom in with the photos, it would be a big help.

Pics not large enough but it looks like a long nock, the olive branch may have the clash(lack of the proper term) under the berry and the legs appear thick(may have a doubled leg variety). I believe this is the type B reverse, the A in AMERICA appears to be touching the wing. nlp

I can tell you its a 7/0 TF but can't tell what specific VAM it is by the pictures |

I'm thinking VAM 33, the legs and talons are doubled, also I think thats its a weak 7/4 tail feather also I think you have the clashing to make it VAM #33A |

No clashing so it's a VAM 33 7/8TF (Weak). The keys to the VAM 33 are: Reverse - a long nock (green circle), 4TF's showing (blue circles), and a blob underneath the olive branch (red circle).  Keys on the Obverse are a blob of metal on the first 8 (red arrow) and two tiny notches on the first and second stars to the right of the date (blue arrows).  |

I don't even have to take cheat sheets to shows anymore.  Maybe I should just add a "MorganNut" tag-line at the bottom.  |

I think if there are close ups on the chin and lips the clashing will be better seen, I enhanced his pic, and they are evident, I belive they will be strong enough to make the 33a,,,

I thought it was a 33 but from the first pictures the part on the bottom of the arrow shaft looked straight instead of rounded like the 33 does but in the other set yep its a 33

Nut, Bryan, Aladin, Dave, you guys are absolutely incredible. I think that if someone really needs help with attribution, THIS is the place to come. A lot of these types of questions would get overlooked or unanswered elsewhere. I am very proud of all of you.

This example doesn't even come close. Leroy has chosen to limit separate classifications to those that have a letter transfer. In this case the 'N' on the neck clash.   |
