Is This Possibly An 1889 Top 100?

Welcome to Coin Community, 2MQ. Your nickname is an oxymoron, by the way.

The only Top 100 1889 VAMs are the two "Barwing" variants. They're characterized by a large chip atop the eagle's right (viewer's left) wing, and your coin does not have this feature.

However....I believe I see the eyelid doubled. That feature is on record for only one 1889 VAM - VAM-55. Doesn't mean it isn't present on other VAMs, just the only one it's recorded for. Can you confirm this?

Next, have a look at the ear. 1889 VAMs are primarily differentiated by date location and ear doubling (I think I can see this, also, on your coin).

If you can confirm the presence, or lack, of these features, we can work on an accurate attribution.

Thanks you all and for the welcome as well. I had to leave town to purchase a mansion in Boca as I assume this coin is worth life changing numbers.

In the EXTREMELY minute chance it is simply a very far date (that's what I saw instantly and was hoping for the wing to actually be a barwing and the coin being a 5-A

However, I soon realize that I looked so hard at the image for 15 staraight minutes that I not only forgot to blink but the birdy actually started flapping its wings so my vison, for that night anyway, KaP00t!

A couple of more questions if I may before I am FORCED to post at VAM World after one of CCF's famous, supersecret blackballing by all those Mad Numasacysts using Jefferson nickels for their avatar. Methinks that's some kind of skull and bones Society they are members of.

Or, they are THE illuminati's immortal founders that don't like me and therefore I will be dead before I hit "post" (should they choose). Ok, thanks all...

OOOPS, wait, the questons! Don't get me started on the new world order stuff please because I have not bought enough beans yet..

Ok, so I got interested in what I could see was a very far date then under a loupe I found this:




Finally, I thought I saw a ton of clashing but am so new to collecting that I might not know what the heck I am talking about.

Okey Dokey. if the ummm, 'elders' let me live it appears I need to figure out a macro shot is and I will post them if I have whatever it takes to make whatever they are.

The top 100 and hot 50 or even the hit list 40 are just lists. Keep this in mind as there are many other Vams that are really cool. As Dave said in the 1889 P Morgan Vams you only have 2 Top 100 and both are Bar wings on seems to be harder to find in upper grades. I am under the understanding that the Vam-19 is the harder one of the 2 bar wings both have a top pop in grade as a MS-64.
