Just thought I'd share this beauty with you all. Got this a couple weeks back off the bay, and it takes me to a happy place! :D
The TRIFECTA! Hit List 40, Super CD and WOW! Looks in pretty good shape as well. Enjoy!

See http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compu ... -O_VAM-19A - the only other TY clash of the whole series... so far but I'm on the hunt to discover the third one. Will you beat me to it?!

I've always liked this particular VAM and have yet to wrangle one in from the wild.
Nice specimen of it. :D

Well done. :mrgreen:

@jrfaust, relooked at one of my coins and saw the following:
87OV30A_cottonboll_clashlines-GRedfeather.jpg
87OV30A_cottonboll_clashlines-GRedfeather.jpg (235.02 KiB) Viewed 132 times

Corresponds to the arrow head shafts on the reverse.

Be sure to look to see if your coin show the PUP... wickedly cool, and rather unique, obv PUP for any of the Morgan dollar varieties...

I also noticed for the first time that the hair ribbon clash line can be seen on the reverse (right of the red guide line);

Holy mud I love this coin more and more the more I look at it!
