I need help, with my 1878 78 rev Morgan

Post by bhinkle » Wed Feb 08, 2023 6:48 am

Will I was looking through Some my 1878 Morgans, for maybe a vam 189, I saw this one, that while
looking at it, I noticed some crazy lines, that looked like they outlined of the leaves, on the reverse.
I looked at the vams and saw the vam 80B, with similar lines above the DOL, in DOLLAR.
Mine doesn't have those vam 80B lines.
Are these polish lines and is there a vam, that has them, like on mine?
They start above the leaves, to the left of ICA, in AMERICA, on the reverse.
I took some pictures at different angles.
Thank you, Bert

Holy sharkbait, Bert. What a lovely set of lines you got going on there.

Way more impressive than what I pathetically questioned about the VAM-39A to 39B transition http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5092...

Same bloke, same tools, different die but impressive art?!

Curious... the crack between the C and A of AMERICA doesn't align with 80A/B plates?

Bert,

If you're unhappy with it because it is scratched up, feel free to drop it in the post to me. I'll take the clearly flawed coin off your hands and relieve you of your misery...

I'll be happy to take it also, I only have a MS-63 and three MS-62
and a MS-64 would look great in my inventory :D

Thank you Mike, Gray and Juan,
I was so excited, that I saw those crazy lines around the wreath leaves
I didn't check anything else.
Here are some more pictures, that I overlooked and I think for a vam 82,
with some cool lines around the wreath leaves.
Thank you eneryone again, Bert
