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!

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!

1884 VAM 1C variant?

I picked up this clashed coin and it has most of the hallmarks of a VAM 1C but the end star left has a die break (or 2), the profile isn't quite as doubled (inside of ear is doubled) as well as, a large scratch by cotton balls and some other small variances. Is it a 1C or possibly EDS of a 1C or a d...

Re: 1888 P VAM HELP TRIPLE? QUADRUPLE?

Vam 12A by the reverse it looks like. What about the berries and leaves are they truly trip/quad or is it just a worn die?
