Re: 1885 O VAM 25A would this be a LDS
Picture 4 is close up of 4th star right where the crack in Picture 5 goes into the radial
Picture 5 I don't see those cracks in any other the posted photos for the VAM (again may be very light)

1885 O VAM 25A would this be a LDS
Looking at the photos and the VAM 25A I picked up I was wondering if this might be a LDS due to some additional cracking I don't see in the photos (may just be very light) and some displacement on some places. Please let me know what you think! 1st 2 pictures are of same thing at different angles. 3...

Re: 1885 O VAM 24

The berry is a result of that doubling I used the arrow in this picture to where it looks like a hidden (extra) berry to me but it could be overenth...

1885 O VAM 24
I got this VAM 24 and looked it over. The reverse has a cool triple MM and, hidden berry from the doubling 2nd batch left side, and some of the best tripling I've seen since collecting Morgans (which hasnt been too long lol) and just wanted to share!

There is a field die break and displacement O of OF, reverse letters, die scratches in N of UNITED, die scratch eagle right wing, obverse and reverse clashing but I don't see letter transfer,...

Re: 1887 VAM 27?
I see it now, I was going with the date placement link and I thought when I looked at VAM 1 that the date was further away so I was looking at far dates. Thank you!

1887 VAM 4A clashed n
I was looking over what I believe is the 4A, file marks included and I noticed a clashed n but not in description. I can see the spike in left serif like EDS suggests and file marks on the reverse through UNITED and the star. Was just seeing if it is a clashed n (if so is it known) and if this is an...

1878 VAM 114A Questions
I picked up this 114A but a couple of questions. The nostril seems more polished than the examples and are the cotton balls, Liberty, and atleast 2nd left star tripled? Also the U in United is that PMD or just a bad strike? Would this be a later strike for this Vam? Thanks in advance for the help!
