1900 P VAM help

I purchased this coin because of the doubling but when looking to confirm a VAM it matched a 22 kind of, but this one has an alligator eye, doubled inside of ear, the whole date is doubled, 1st 6 left stars and 1 right doubled....is there a better VAM match? I looked at 28 but it was closer to 22. T...

1904 O VAM 28A "Trigger" Question

I picked up this what I believe to be a 28A but this one has a polish line below the tailfeathers, some wing feather may be polished away or didn't come through on the strike and a disconnected leaf. Is this a 28A?

1885 O Die Rotation?

Would this be caused by a die rotation or is it an O/O?

1878 8TF VAM 18?

I believe I have a VAM 18. The coin isn't in the best of shape and I can't quite tell the feathers due to wear. The stars are all over the place on the obverse right but it also looks like there are missing points. Are the points missing or is it due to wear and is it a VAM 18?

1886 VAM 3B Question

I believe I have a 3B, not really any die cracks though although 1 radial crack....but when I turn the obverse looking up the neck it almost looks like a triple neck? The face does not show this at the same angle. Is it a 3B and is it just tricks on the eye with the neck?

Re: 1885 O VAM 25A would this be a LDS

I appreciate that assessment. I was curious as to thoughts of everyone on this one because like previously mention there are so many cracks.

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

Here were the PUPs I used to determine the VAM. I had to look up machine doubling and it makes me enjoy this coin more now that it may be the only one! 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!
