southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 8:13 pm Here's a 1891 CC I'm having a little trouble attributing, due to wear and the few attributed on VW. The few points I've been able to note are the normal positioned date, possibly a high second 1, and the mm appears to be high left (from the observers point of view). What I can't determine is if the O, A & are are doubled at the bottoms, or if the lettering is just flattened, which I don't think is the case. Any opinions on what you observe, particularly on the lettering? Oh, and I think its a c3d reverse. Thanks Edited by southsav 08/22/2011 09:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 8:24 pm My guess, based on what little information is available, is you're looking at VAM-2 considering the date and mint mark location. As regards doubling: The places you're pointing to are likely circulation artifacts. True doubling is a lot more subtle - look at the "O" you posted. See the minute "doubling" to the right of the place you arrowed? Kinda looks like a small "slice" that's still connected on the right? That's what Morgan doubling looks like in most cases. You cannot see it without good magnification. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5619 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 11:45 pm I may need to update my reading glasses, but I do not see anything that is doubled, looks like all post mint damage,also looks like the mint marks are shifted to the left..... Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

And your glasses are fine, the mm is left not right, my error. Appreciate yours and Dave's feedback. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
