Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 07/16/2006 01:03 am I see the grade as MS63 with a possible PL reverse. Very pretty coin. The date issue should not hurt the grade at all. Report this Post to the Staff

Does this hurt the grade? If you own a Morgan, you have a VAM. Every Morgan has a VAM #, it is a die marriage. It's just that some VAMs are better and easier to spot than others If you haven't been to http://www.ashmore.com/vamupdate/index.htmspend some time there. Click on the "images" link, and sit back. There are hundreds of images for you to look at and enjoy, your coin might even be represented there. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 07/18/2006 10:57 pm Tim, it's a little too bright of an image to tell for certain, but I'd guess MS-62 or MS-63 based on the images. There seems to be a lot of bag marks on the obverse fields and on Liberty's face which would keep the grade down. The camera may also be exaggerating the marks. My usual disclaimer: I haven't looked at the other responses yet. Fred Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 07/18/2006 11:02 pm Tim, based on your follow-up images, I'd still say MS-62 or -63. It's a very pretty Morgan (well, ALL Morgans are pretty!) but the obverse marks will keep her grade down. Bryan's the VAM expert, so I'll defer to his judgement on its status as a VAM. Are you planning to get it slabbed? Fred Report this Post to the Staff
Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 07/19/2006 12:30 pm I was thinking of it, but I am not sure if it would be worth the money. Red Book shows a MS63 as $50.00 and a MS64 as $70.00. I want to thank everyone for the opinions Tim Report this Post to the Staff
