Back to obverse: Every coin in the study has raised reed like marks at the jaw-neck line from die damage (see “1900-S VAM-29 (-27) Reed Clash Marks at Jaw-Neck” posted Sun Jan 31, 2021, where I misattributed the group as V-29 when ...

One of the interesting aspects of many VAMs is their late die stages. The obverse of 1900-S VAM-27 and its predecessor VAM-29 are two of several that year with notable die breaks at the date making them easily recognizable. The later die state of Vam-27 has a crown on the 1 and devil’s horns on the ...

Discoloration appears to be a stain. The thin lines are die polishing marks that are seen in many Morgans.

Sorry, didn't mean to veto V12.2 as I should have added that the page description is too vague and technically wrong. I cropped the FCP from the page and the S is also set low like yours, but the top serif looks a little different. But might just be my eyes. Does your coin have other matching attrib...

V-12.2 page states "Reverse C3a –(medium) IV S mint mark at normal height with partially filled loops." but the lines show it being set low from your picture. Not tilted.

Thanks for the guidance and encouragement ljs123 and keilg1 . Of course the holy grail of a clash has to be a letter transfer, otherwise no listing for the clash. I am sure I can see faint lines in the Hair Vee that aren't metal flow so I kept looking at the neck. The 1880-P VAM-32A that you posted ...

Yes, I commented that the clash did not look like the full n should show, but there are too many straight lines at angles in the blob for it to be anything else. Tried to fit the whole I there and part of the n but that didn't work. If I can get my Photoshop loaded (new PC but no CD port and online ...

Not a VAM-29 Reverse as lines at bow, wing gap and leg wing gap do not match that die set.

Lee, thanks for question as I had to look harder at this one before my post and should have explained it better. But, like Thror’s map some letters can only be seen under a crescent moon. Since there is a sharp edged clash I looked for that tic mark from the n under all possible angles with my littl...

Help with 1880-S Doubled date, medium S centered and upright, slightly high Doubled/tripled/quadrupled lettering. Clashed die - no letter transfer. Got this PCGS MS64 from a recent Heritage auction as I thought the S looked funky (some of it due to smudges on the slab) but more interesting is that i...

From what I can see your coin does look like the VAM-13B that UNCLE BINGO suggested. The die chip under the low spot of the bow on left looks similar but other pointed to things are not as clear in pic. Check for other pick ups to confirm. The VAM-13B description of High 0 Set Right is wrong as the ...

Not an expert by any means but using the Date Placement Indexing System (DPIS) from the Morgan VAM Attribution Guide 101 page I get: LH3_B45C Date placement querry 14Nov22 Gred.jpg LEB1 = LH3 (Left half of third denticle) REB1 = B45C (Between 4th and 5th denticles, centered) Normal date placement To...

I agree that location and orientation of the MM would not be an adequate way to ID a VAM. However, when there are so many possible VAMs on a page it can sometimes be a way to narrow the field. I still think that when a MM is at or beyond the crossing line it is High or Low and there is some room for...

As he said. I drew this one too fast.
actually set high and not tilted

Ya gotta draw the lines. I usually need more of the D and O to work this but here is what I got. set low tilted left MM VW querry GRed 6Nov22 - comparitor.jpg Set high & Right not tilted MM VW querry GRed 6Nov22.jpg I like using the red to frame the MM then blue to cross it.
