And then there's this one. The 9 in the date looks very high to me, even higher than what VAMWorld shows as the "high 9" VAM-7. Can anyone offer a positive attribution and a possible value? I'll probably put some of these VAMs on ebay individually if they should carry a premium over ordinary coins.

Thanks for the help!

I agree with aladinslamp. It is a 'very far date'. Try v-32 or something in that category. Check for doubling in the ear area.

Here are some additional enlargements of my coin. I can't really any doubling of the ear, but my photos aren't sharp enough to be sure. It does seem possible that it is VAM-32 based on the position of the date.

I will concur with Zeewools accessment from the date placement as VAM 32, this is generally a common coin
the R-factor which really doesn't mean anything if its not on the lists, so its a common money coin....All
Morgans are a VAM, you either have one on the list or you have one that has a high rating and wait to see if it
draws attention.....even low rated I3R4 coins if on the list draw money...the rest sit/hold and wait or go
for common money.......
